The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that most of Trump's tariffs were illegal, citing the lack of authorization under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act. Trump responded by re-imposing a 10% global tariff, but this was limited by law to 150 days, requiring Congressional approval for extensions. Despite the ruling, tariffs and trade restrictions are expected to continue, especially with ongoing tensions with China and potential sector-specific tariffs under other laws. The decision marks a limit on presidential trade powers but does not significantly alter the broader trend of trade restrictions.

In response, Trump announced new tariffs, initially at 10% and then increasing to 15%, on all imports for 150 days, citing the need to address trade imbalances. The tariffs, which included the previously imposed "Liberation Day" tariffs, were declared invalid, but the 15% tariff remains temporarily in effect under new legal justification, with further decisions pending.

A British political operative associated with Steve Bannon has claimed that Angela Merkel's support for mass immigration has caused more damage to Germany than the Nazis, criticizing center-right politicians for betraying Western nations.

Following a US Supreme Court ruling that declared most of Donald Trump's tariffs unlawful, the EU reaffirmed its commitment to reducing tariffs on US exports, despite the legal setback. Europe's response is largely driven by its security dependence on the US to support Ukraine amid ongoing tensions with Russia, leading to continued political appeasement toward Washington. Recent actions by Hungary and Slovakia threaten to veto or block EU aid and sanctions on Russia, reflecting strained relations within the bloc and a prioritization of pragmatic geopolitical interests over confrontational trade policies. Despite vocal frustration within the EU, such as threats to suspend trade deals, the bloc is unlikely to take significant retaliatory measures, and the broader trade dynamics are expected to remain unchanged.
The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated President Trump's tariffs, reducing his leverage ahead of the April summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Despite the legal setback, the U.S. retains other non-tariff measures and ongoing trade investigations that influence relations, with analysts predicting limited progress on key issues in upcoming talks.
