Security Concerns Drive European Interest The renewed attention comes amid growing concerns over Europe’s defense landscape.…

US President Donald Trump has introduced a new global tariff set at ten percent. The tariff took effect after the Supreme Court blocked many of his earlier import taxes on Friday.

Emergency Powers and Market Uncertainty The administration applies the levy under Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act.…
Supreme Court Ruling Sparks Uncertainty European Parliament negotiators have paused the EU-US trade agreement after a recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court declared some 2025 tariffs imposed by Washington illegal. In response, President Donald Trump announced new 15% duties on imports, escalating tensions and casting doubt on the validity of the pact. German MEP Bernd Lange, chair of the parliamentary trade committee, said the legal framework had “totally changed” and stressed the need for clear assurances from the US before moving forward.
