Trump Plans to Increase Global Tariffs to 15%
2026-03-04 20:40

U.S. Treasury Secretary Benton announced that Trump plans to increase the global universal tariff from 10% to 15%. This measure is expected to be implemented within this week. The new tariff authorization period is 150 days, during which the U.S. trade department will seek to restore the previous tariff system. The decision follows the Supreme Court's invalidation of most of Trump's previous tariff system, after which he had imposed a 10% universal tax.
