Lange highlighted that clarity and legal certainty were needed before any further steps could be taken.

The move came days after US President Donald Trump escalated his renewed tariff campaign by pledging to raise a previously announced 10% global tariff to 15%, even after the Supreme Court ruled against his previous tariff hikes.

Today, Trump threatened to impose steeper tariffs on countries that “play games” after the Supreme Court verdict.
