The European Union’s executive arm requested “full clarity” from the United States and asked its trade partner to fulfill its commitments after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some of Donald Trump’s most sweeping tariffs.

Trump has lashed out at the court decision and said Saturday that he wants a global tariff of 15%, up from the 10% he announced a day earlier.

The European Commission said the current situation is not conducive to delivering “fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial” trans-Atlantic trade and investment, as agreed to by both sides and spelled out in the EU-U.S. Joint Statement of August 2025.

    No. If a Trump can arise once, it can arise again. This lands on the USA, not Trump. They have proven that their system lacks the ability to hold to an honourable agreement.

      Trust is gained by the drop and spilled by the bucket.

      All American propaganda that was constructed since the Marshall plan was pissed out of the window. It will take at least a couple of decades of primo behavior to gain back that trust.

      funny, people been saying the same thing about Hitler since the 1950s.

      I’m starting the think it’s not a system problem and is a human problem. if true that would mean that “a Trump” could exist anywhere, not just in the US.

        Sure “a tRump” could exist anywhere. Except not just any country has the military firepower and global power that America has (or had).

        So a tRump existing in Moldova or Colombia is far less likely to have the ability to affect world affairs than the current American incarnation can.
