The United States government will announce its next steps in the country's tariff policy this Thursday (23), on the eve of the expiration of the temporary 10% tariff applied to imports. The information was confirmed by the White House. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the United States Trade Representative (USTR), Jamieson Greer, will make an announcement later today regarding the tariff plans of President Donald Trump's administration. "Jamieson Greer will make an announcement about this very soon, later today," Leavitt stated during a press conference. The general 10% tariff was implemented after the United States Supreme Court overturned the global tariffs previously imposed by Trump based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As an alternative, the government resorted to Section 122 of the Trade Act to establish a temporary base tariff of 10%. However, this mechanism has a maximum duration of 150 days, and its validity expires this Friday (24).
