The European Union has issued a firm response following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could open the door to higher American tariffs. EU officials stressed that Washington must honor existing trade agreements, warning that any unilateral increase in duties would violate commitments made between the two economic powers.

The Supreme Court decision has raised concerns in Brussels about potential shifts in U.S. trade policy. While the ruling does not automatically impose new tariffs, it grants the U.S. government broader authority to adjust them—an authority the EU fears could be used to revisit long‑settled disputes.

Despite the tension, EU leaders expressed hope that both sides will continue to prioritize cooperation. They noted that the transatlantic partnership remains one of the world’s most important economic relationships, and maintaining trust is crucial for navigating global challenges.
