Trump tariff court ruling does little to end uncertainty for global business

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The US Supreme Court ruled that former President Trump's tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal. Despite this, uncertainty remains for international businesses and governments. While the ruling clarifies presidential power regarding tariffs, it doesn't address potential refunds for importers or rebates for exporters. Experts suggest Trump could utilize other legislation, like the 1974 Trade Act, to impose new tariffs. International bodies like the European Commission and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce are analyzing the ruling and seeking clarity from the US, emphasizing the need for stable trade relationships. While some view the ruling positively, there is concern that the US may employ new, potentially disruptive trade pressure tactics.
