In English 

United States President Donald Trump announced that he has raised taxes on all states after the Supreme Court invalidated the one he had raised since the beginning of last year.

Trump has imposed steep tariffs on countries he accuses of unfair trade practices. In the case of China, he raised the tariff to 245%, but later eased it as the two countries began talks aimed at reducing the trade gap.

In various messages on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump welcomed the decision, stating that it would generate billions of dollars in revenue for the United States.

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump had raised taxes beyond the authority granted to him by the Constitution, as Congress could have made the final decision.

That evening, Trump declared the judges' decision a disgrace, saying they were not acting in America's best interests because they did not understand the country's economic needs.

On February 21, 2026, President Trump announced that he had decided to raise the tax rate for all countries, from the current low 10%, to 15%.

He said, "I, as President of the United States, will, effective immediately, raise the tax on all countries, many of which have been 'harvesting' the United States for many years without accountability, from the current 10% to the legal and lawful 15%."

The new tax announced by Trump is expected to take effect on February 24. The one he had imposed last year is no longer valid.

Rais wa Marekani, Donald Trump, ametangaza kuwa ameongeza kodi kwa nchi zote baada ya Mahakama Kuu ya Marekani kupinga uamuzi wake wa mwaka uliopita. Trump ametoa tamko hilo mara baada ya Mahakama Kuu kupinga uamuzi wake wa kuongeza kodi kwa nchi zote, akidai kuwa alivuka mamloba yake kama Rais 

Trump alikuwa ameweka kodi kubwa kwa nchi anazoshutumu kwa mazoezi ya biashara yasiyo ya haki, ikiwa ni pamoja na China, ambapo aliongeza kodi hadi asili 245%. Hata hivyo, baadae alipunguza kodi hiyo kufuatia mazungumzo kati ya Marekani na China 

Katika ujumbe wake kwenye mtandao wa kijamii wa Truth Social, Trump alisema kuwa uamuzi huo utaleta mapato ya mabilioni ya dola kwa Marekani. Alisema kuwa "Nitakuwa nikiongeza kodi kwa nchi zote, nyingi zikiwa zimekuwa zikinyakua Marekani kwa miaka mingi bila uwajibikaji" 

Mahakama Kuu ilitoa uamuzi wake mnamo Februari 20, 2026, ikidai kuwa Trump alivuka mamloba yake kama Rais kwa kuongeza kodi bila kibali cha Congress. Trump alishutumu mahakama hiyo kwa kuwa na maamuzi ya aibu na kudai kuwa hawakuwa wakifanya kazi kwa manufaa ya Marekani 

Siku iliyofuata, Februari 21, 2026, Trump alitangaza kuwa ameamua kuongeza kodi kwa nchi zote kutoka 10% hadi 15%. Alisema kuwa uamuzi huo utatolewa tarehe 24 Februari 

Uamuzi huo umepokelewa kwa mchanganyiko wa hisia, huku wengine wakidai kuwa ni hatua ya kizalendo kwa Marekani, wakati wengine wakidai kuwa ni hatua ya kulenga biashara ya kimataifa 

Kodi hiyo mpya inatarajiwa kuleta mapato ya mabilioni ya dola kwa Marekani, lakini inaweza pia kusababisha vita vya biashara na nchi nyingine
