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.

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.
