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 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.

    Bet the EU felt satisfaction using the same words Trump and his cronies were using when they were trying to change the deal last year. I certainly would.

      Let’s see how long that satisfaction lasts once they notice that Trump doesn’t fucking care. Magats don’t have principles, why should they care what they said yesterday?
