The European Commission<\/span><\/span> has firmly stated that it will not accept any increase in U.S. tariffs beyond the levels agreed under last year\u2019s EU-U.S. trade deal, following a dramatic shift in American trade policy triggered by a court ruling.<\/p>\n

The move comes after the U.S. Supreme Court<\/span><\/span> struck down former President Donald Trump<\/span><\/span>\u2019s global tariffs on Friday. In response, Trump announced temporary across-the-board tariffs of 10%, which were subsequently raised to 15% just a day later.<\/p>\n

In a strongly worded statement on Sunday, the Commission \u2014 which negotiates trade policy on behalf of the 27 EU member states \u2014 demanded that Washington provide \u201cfull clarity\u201d on how it intends to proceed following the court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current situation is not conducive to delivering \u2018fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial\u2019 transatlantic trade and investment, as agreed by both sides,\u201d the Commission said, adding emphatically: \u201cA deal is a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tone marked a significant escalation from its earlier reaction on Friday, when the EU executive had merely stated it was reviewing the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling and maintaining contact with U.S. officials.<\/p>\n

Under last year\u2019s agreement, most EU goods were subject to a 15% U.S. tariff, except for products covered by separate sectoral measures such as steel. The deal also provided zero tariffs on certain items, including aircraft and spare parts. In return, the EU agreed to remove import duties on many U.S. goods and withdrew plans for retaliatory levies.<\/p>\n

However, uncertainty now surrounds whether Trump\u2019s new 15% tariffs override the existing EU-U.S. agreement. If so, previously agreed zero-tariff exemptions for some European exports could be scrapped. There are also concerns that the new tariffs could be added on top of pre-existing \u201cmost-favoured-nation\u201d duties \u2014 something not \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0443\u0441\u043c\u043e\u0442\u0440 under the current agreement.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the EU\u2019s previous comparative advantage \u2014 enjoying a 15% tariff rate under the deal \u2014 may have vanished, as countries without trade agreements are now facing the same 15% rate.<\/p>\n

Trade policy watchdog Global Trade Alert estimates that the EU economy as a whole could be 0.8 percentage points worse off under the new tariff regime, with Italy potentially facing an additional 1.7 percentage points in U.S. duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, EU products must continue to benefit from the most competitive treatment, with no increases in tariffs beyond the clear and all-inclusive ceiling previously agreed,\u201d the Commission said, warning that unpredictable trade measures disrupt markets and undermine global investor confidence.<\/p>\n

The Commission also confirmed that EU Trade Commissioner Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d held discussions on Saturday with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in an effort to seek clarification and preserve the integrity of the transatlantic trade agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
