⭕ U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Howard, stated that the legal uncertainty regarding U.S. tariffs will not significantly affect the ongoing negotiations with the European Union, noting that talks are still ongoing.
⏪ Howard was responding to a report published by "Reuters" quoting a European Union official familiar with the negotiations, who said that "the legal ambiguity in the United States regarding tariffs gives the European Union an additional leverage."
⏪ Howard responded by saying: "You cannot listen to silly people making silly comments... all the countries negotiating with us are well aware of Donald Trump's strength and his ability to protect the American worker."
⏪ A U.S. trade court had issued a ruling last week to annul most of the tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump, considering that his decision to impose blanket tariffs on imports from the United States' trading partners exceeded his authority, but a federal appeals court suspended the ruling one day later, allowing the tariffs to remain in effect temporarily until considering an appeal filed by the Trump administration.
