A familiar uncertainty as the world grapples with fresh Trump tariff turmoil

U.S. allies across Europe voiced alarm and frustration after President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was hiking his newly announced global tariff to 15%, less than a day after announcing a 10% worldwide duty.
On Friday, Trump announced the blanket 10% import tax for all foreign trading partners after most of his sweeping country-by-country tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court.
One day later, he said in a Truth Social post that he would be immediately “raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been ‘ripping’ the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level.”
The United States’ European allies, now more than familiar with Trump’s rapidly shifting tariff threats after more than a year of diplomacy, criticized the new measures and called for unity across the continent.
In Saturday remarks made before Trump announced the 15% rate, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned of the “poison” of more uncertainty around tariffs.
