      So Europe managed to fob off Trump with endless talks and vague promises, while not actually doing anything.

      Trump unilaterally imposed heavy tariffs on US taxpayers and importers, and now has had all of that cancelled without Europe having to do a single thing.

      We now get to sit back and watch the carnage in the US as everyone involved sues each other to get their tariffs back, while trust in the US as a viable economic environment for investment continues to shrink.

      Excellent news for European manufacturing and investment.

      The ruling only bars Trump from using a law from 1977 called IEEPA to declare emergency powers for tariffs specifically; it doesn’t prevent him from issuing tariffs in general through other means.

      This law signed under President Jimmy Carter allows the Executive to regulate or prohibit imports, exports, and transactions involving foreign property during a declared national emergency, as well as impose sanctions and freeze assets. But not declare emergency tariffs, as it’s obviously ripe for abuse.

      EU lesson here: don’t build your entire industrial strategy around “the US will stay predictable”.
      Diversify markets, harden supply chains, and treat transatlantic trade as politics-first, economics-second.

      It’s too late.  The damage is done.  The US system has proven it cannot remove an obviously deranged, obviously unhinged person from power in a timely manner.  There is no way to repair this except a total rebuild, which isn’t going to happen.

      What is there to analyze?

      Do not sign any trade agreement with the US. Wait until they restore pre-Trump era tariffs. Flood the American market with European cars. Laugh.

      I don’t know how the US ever recovers from this.

      They have no checks in place to stop this and even if they did, the majority actively support it.

      He’s still damaged world trade for the US. So incompetent this administration. I have no words. I’ve literally seen things float down the river Thames with more talent.

      The damage is done but it should (emphasis on should) make the republicans more humble.

      Europe needs to be more reliant but I do think close alignment with the US is of interest & post-Trump will be less contentious.

      Also, the tariffs do all but help economy. They lose partners, deals, trust. Lets hope for US common man sake that this is first step in healing.

      Don’t be effing stupid now Europe and flock back to the USA. He’s just going to try Tariffs again in a different way.

      Mission accomplished: Trump&Co made bank on inside info on market disruptions, he got to show strength to his moronic voter base so shutting down half of the tariffs isn’t that much of a deal.

      This isn’t over for Trump though. He’s a little vindictive little shit and he will have other cards to play in these economic games he likes to play. This doesn’t mean a return to normalcy. Europeans, including UK, AUS and CAN need to realise that the relationship we had with the United States is over. There will be no return to pre2024 era of globalism.

      I think the biggest thing it day is make countries sign a giant amount of trade deal.
      Maybe a war will soon follow to distract people from this failure

      The most “interesting” part, Trump administration already spent huge part of money collected via tariffs… so basically current US budget went from wasteful to impossible. I am really curious what would come next.

      Carefully Analysing – sounds awfully close to Preparing to Fold. Stay in the trenches ffs!

    21. munkijunk on

      The ruling to be clear is on trump using IEEPA for imposing tarrifs. He can’t do that, but there are other methods. Specific areas can still be targeted, and we could still see heavy tarrifs on key export markets like pharma and automotive.

      EU needs to counsel European companies how they can sue the US government for business losses caused by the illegal tariffs.

    26. alexbottoni on

      There is very little to analyze. It’s time to send Donald “Corleone” Trump and all his gangsters to hell.

    27. BadOchStjul on

      Why do rules, decisions, laws even matter? Majority of the stuff Trump and the Rep party does is a mockery to any law. Everything he does is illegal.

      The US and Trump should reimburse the tariffs charged in 2025 and so far in 2026. Go back to zero and then apply the pre-Trump tariffs.
