After US Supreme Court Ruling: New Tariffs, Exemptions, and US-EU Trade Reactions

• The US Supreme Court ruled that President Trump could not impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), leading to the immediate removal of such tariffs.
• In response, the US President issued an Executive Order imposing a new 10% import surcharge on nearly all imports, based on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, with plans to potentially increase it to 15%.
• The new surcharge applies in addition to existing tariffs, with certain geographic (Canada, Mexico) and sectoral (food security, health, critical minerals, high-tech) exceptions.
• The EU reacted by pausing the ratification of a trade agreement with the US, viewing the tariff deal as effectively collapsed.
