European Commission warns United States against tariff hikes following Supreme Court ruling
The European Commission insists Washington must stick to last year's trade terms after President Trump imposed new 15% levies. Officials say a deal is a deal.
The European Commission has issued a formal demand for the United States 
US to adhere to the tariff ceilings and terms established in the trade deal agreed between the two powers last year. This development follows a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down former President Donald Trumps's global tariffs, which prompted the current U.S. administration to announce and subsequently increase temporary across-the-board tariffs. Initially set at 10%, these new levies were quickly raised to 15%, triggering concerns regarding the stability of the transatlantic trade relationship.

EU and its 27 member states, argued that these unilateral increases risk disrupting trade flows and undermining global market confidence. The Commission emphasized that the United States must respect the previously negotiated commitments to maintain a predictable economic environment. Key figures involved in the broader trade landscape include Maros Sefcovic, Jamieson Greer, and Howard Lutnick, as both sides navigate the fallout from the judicial reversal of the previous administration's trade policy.
