WASHINGTON, United States — The U.S. government is preparing a new set of targeted trade tariffs as a temporary 10% global import levy expires on Friday, July 24, 2026. The expiring duty was introduced earlier in the year after a February Supreme Court ruling struck down a prior wave of executive trade actions. According to administration officials, the replacement measures will emphasize forced labor issues and supply chain compliance, with tariffs expected to range between 10% and 12.5% on selected imports. The shift is raising concerns among foreign partners, commodities markets, and U.S. business groups about potential retaliation and higher import costs.
