EU says US must honor a trade deal after court blocks Trump tariffs

The European Union’s executive arm requested “full clarity” from the United States and asked its trade partner to fulfill its commitments after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some of President Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs.

Trump has lashed out at the court decision and said Saturday that he wants a global tariff of 15%, up from the 10% he announced a day earlier.

The European Commission said the current situation is not conducive to delivering “fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial” trans-Atlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides and spelled out in the EU-U.S. Joint Statement of August 2025.

American and EU officials sealed a trade deal last year that imposes a 15% import tax on 70% of European goods exported to the United States. The European Commission handles trade for the 27 EU member countries. …

I remember when Amy Coney Rabbit came up for confirmation. All the one issue
suspects came out. Plenty of indicators said she was a squish, "buh buh buh muh pro-life".

Just like libertarians. Lose the game over angels dancing on the head of a pin.

I watched the treasury secretary, video linked, on the impact of the Supreme court tariff decision. Turns out trump has the power to embargo trade. There’s no money in it, but he only used most of the tariffs to force renegotiations. He can just shut off trade. Instead of getting instant action it takes 60-90 days.

The EuroTrash and Canada want to keep the gravy train rolling. For decades they have been dumping all their products on American markets while protecting their own markets.

They want to continue the huge trade imbalances where they sell us everything and buy nothing from us in return.

Those days are over, finally. The freeloaders are learning this the hard way.

Remember how everyone swooned over her empty notepad? Not so funny anymore is it?
I knew she was trouble when she drove to her swearing in, and packed her Haitian adoptive kids into the minivan, her husband in the passenger seat and she drove. Never trust a dash woman.
