Question marks over global impact of Trump tariff ruling
Experts are warning of economic uncertainty and confusion for countries negotiating trade deals with the US after a court ruling blocked President Donald Trump 's tariffs. The White House has appealed the decision, potentially delaying trade talks and existing deals, except for tariffs on steel, aluminium, and cars. Experts say the ruling casts a "cloud" over any trade negotiations with the US as the country's legal position is unclear. While some parties see the ruling as beneficial for countries like the UK by preventing the quick imposition of tariffs, others worry about intensified tariffs on sensitive sectors. The uncertainty has already led some UK firms to abandon the US market, and a Commons committee is set to investigate trade with the US, while calls are being made for clarification from the US ambassador.
