China Urges US to Drop Tariffs After Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Measures

  • China calls on the US to cancel unilateral tariffs after the Supreme Court invalidated many Trump-era measures.
  • The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump lacked authority under the 1977 law for sudden levies, a setback to his trade approach.
  • Trump reacted by announcing new 10% global duties, later raised to 15%, under a separate legal authority.
  • China's commerce ministry is assessing the ruling's impact and warns that "protectionism leads nowhere."
  • China's foreign ministry is closely watching potential US actions to maintain elevated tariffs and will safeguard its interests.
