The Straits Times2/20/2026 – 2/21/2026

Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs exceeded his presidential authority, leading to significant changes in his trade policy. Following this ruling, Trump expressed his anger towards the justices, criticizing their decision as a major loss for his administration. The Supreme Court's decision has injected new uncertainty into global trade, as it struck down some of Trump's most extensive tariffs, which he had implemented as part of his economic strategy. In response to the Supreme Court's ruling, Trump announced the introduction of a new 10% global tariff. He vowed to continue pursuing tariffs and indicated that he would utilize different tools to work around the court's decision in order to preserve import taxes that he deems essential to his economic and foreign policy. This new tariff is part of Trump's broader strategy to maintain a strong stance on trade, despite the legal setbacks he has faced. The ruling and subsequent tariff announcement have raised concerns among trade experts and industry leaders about the potential implications for international trade relations. Trump's tariffs have been a contentious issue, and the Supreme Court's decision marks a significant turning point in his trade policies. As Trump pivots to the new 10% global tariff, he is also expected to initiate new investigations related to trade, further complicating the landscape of U.S. trade policy.
