#TrumpNewTariffs Supreme Court Setback & Workaround: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority in imposing sweeping, universal tariffs, delivering a significant blow to his second-term economic agenda.
New 10% Universal Tariff: In response to the ruling, Trump announced he will initiate a new 10% global tariff, using different legal statutory authorities (Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974) to bypass the Supreme Court's ruling.
Investigations and Future Hikes: The administration is beginning new investigations that could lead to further, targeted import taxes on a wide range of countries and goods.
Existing Tariffs Remain: Tariffs that were not part of the Supreme Court case—specifically those on metals and other goods—remain in effect.
Previous 2025 Context: These actions follow a turbulent 2025 where Trump had previously threatened/imposed tariffs of up to 50% on dozens of nations (including allies like Canada, Mexico, and South Korea) to force trade deals and combat transshipment.
Impact on Novartis/Drug Prices: Following threats of tariffs on imported medicines, Trump credited his trade policies with driving a $23 billion U.S. expansion by pharmaceutical company Novartis.
