Tariffs Stay Course Despite Court Ruling, Trade Chief Says

Despite a Supreme Court ruling that most Trump-era tariffs were illegal, US trade chief Jamieson Greer says the policy will stay on course, with potential changes to the legal tools used; a 15% global tariff announced after the ruling sits apart from bilateral deals with about 20 countries, which the administration says will remain in force. Refunds for tariffs paid are to be decided by courts, while China urged lifting the tariffs and India postponed a Washington trade delegation as reactions varied and lawmakers criticized the policy’s reach.
