Summary
The Court of International Trade ruled that Donald Trump improperly used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, marking a significant challenge to his trade policy, although the section 232 tariffs on cars and steel remain unaffected. As negotiations intensify between the EU and Trump, the ruling presents an opportunity for the EU to assert itself against Trump’s tactics, which often rely on unilateral concessions and market pressures. The ruling may lead to confusion within Trump’s administration while emphasizing the need for meaningful trade agreements rather than weak, superficial deals.
