Group 1 - The European Parliament's International Trade Committee Chairman Bernd Lange stated that a majority of members have agreed to suspend the procedures for the US-EU trade agreement until clarity, stability, and legal certainty in US-EU trade relations are restored [1] - The US Supreme Court recently ruled that tariffs imposed by Trump under the Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal, which has significant implications for the previously agreed trade deal reached in July 2025 [3] - Following the Supreme Court ruling, Trump announced the imposition of "global import tariffs" under the Trade Act of 1974, currently executing a "maximum of 15% for up to 150 days" [5] Group 2 - Lange emphasized that the Supreme Court's ruling is clear and its impact cannot be ignored, indicating that the key tool for negotiating and executing the "Turnberry Agreement" is no longer available [5] - The new tariffs will lead to an effective tax rate close to 30% on European cheese imports to the US, significantly deviating from the terms of the "Turnberry Agreement" which capped tariffs at 15% [5] - The EU has chosen to press the "pause button" again in response to the significant changes in US tariffs, reflecting ongoing tensions in US-EU trade relations [5][6]
