Court Ruling, Trump Threats Stall US-EU Trade Deal
The US Supreme Court ruled that Trump's tariffs were illegal. Trump's team said it will stop collecting those taxes.
But Trump threatened to use tariffs in a much more powerful and harsh way. European leaders asked for clarity on Trump's tariff plans.
The European Union postponed its vote on a US trade deal. The European Parliament was expected to discuss what to do next.
