美媒感慨：如果不是中国还在反抗特朗普，几乎全世界都向他投降了！美国贸易政策太混乱

Group 1 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal, potentially affecting over $175 billion in tariffs and disrupting the administration's trade strategy [1][9]. - The tariffs initiated by the Trump administration began in early 2025, targeting various industries including steel, aluminum, and automotive parts, and escalated to a baseline 10% tariff on all global trade partners [1][3]. - The average tariff rate increased from less than 3% to nearly 30%, marking the highest level since 1900, which significantly impacted global markets and led to a decline in U.S. corporate profits [1][5]. Group 2 - The tariffs on Chinese goods reached as high as 125%, prompting retaliatory measures from China, which raised its tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% as well [3][5]. - The legal basis for these tariffs was questioned, as the Trump administration used a law intended for emergency situations to justify broad tariff increases, leading to significant market volatility and a drop in global economic growth forecasts [3][5]. - U.S. companies faced severe financial impacts, with General Motors reporting a loss of $1.1 billion due to tariffs, and overall corporate profits in the U.S. declining by $118.1 billion in the first quarter of 2025, the largest drop since Q4 2020 [5][9]. Group 3 - The Supreme Court's decision is seen as a major setback for Trump's economic agenda, undermining claims that increased tariffs would boost revenue and protect jobs, as the possibility of refunding over $175 billion in tariffs looms [9][11]. - Despite the ruling, the Trump administration quickly implemented a new 10% global tariff using a different legal framework, indicating that while one avenue for tariffs was closed, others remain available [9][11]. - Global trade partners expressed cautious optimism regarding the Supreme Court's ruling, suggesting a potential end to the era of unrestricted tariff increases by the U.S. [11].
