On Friday, July 24, 2026, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced new Section 301 tariffs on 60 nations—just one day before the temporary 10% global import tax was scheduled to expire.

The new tariffs take effect at 12:01 a.m. NY time on Friday (July 24, 2026), replacing President Donald Trump’s temporary 10% global tariff—a measure introduced after the Supreme Court struck down his broader trade policies in February.
