Ever since the Supreme Court of America raised questions on Donald Trump’s tariff policy and canceled it, his anger has come out openly many times. On Monday (23 February 2026), he warned those countries who are thinking of withdrawing from the trade deal with America after the cancellation of tariffs. “If any country withdraws from the trade deal after the tariffs are repealed, we will impose additional tariffs on them under different trade laws,” he said in a post on Social Truth.
Last week, the US Supreme Court declared Trump’s tariffs imposed on different countries illegal under the National Emergency Act. After this decision of the court, uncertainty has once again arisen regarding the trade already signed. Trump also raised questions on his country’s Supreme Court regarding this.
Trump again threatened regarding tariffs
Trump said, ‘If any country tries to play games by taking advantage of the court’s decision, then higher tariffs will be imposed on it than before. Especially on those countries which have looted America for decades. Such countries will have to face a much higher and worse situation due to tariffs.

EU postpones vote on trade deal with US
The European Parliament in Brussels on Monday (February 23) decided to postpone voting on the European Union (EU) trade deal with the US because Trump has announced a 15 percent global tariff. Under this agreement, 15 percent American tariff will be imposed on European Union goods. However, exemption will be given on many goods including food items, aircraft parts, rare minerals, medicines. At the same time, EU will have to remove duties on many goods imported from America including industrial goods.
China’s reaction to trade deal with America
China said on Monday that it is assessing the impact of the US Supreme Court’s decision against the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. After the US Court’s decision, the Trump administration first announced a 10 percent global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. A day later, on Saturday (21 February 2026), it was increased to 15 percent. The global tariff rate cannot be increased beyond this.
