British media: After the US Supreme Court ruled that many of Trump's tariffs announced in 2025 were illegal, Asia's major trading partners face new uncertainties.
Trump said he would impose a 15% global tariff on goods entering the United States. The US Customs has stopped collecting tariffs related to Trump's trade policies. This is a major blow to governments in countries such as India and Indonesia, which had negotiated trade agreements with the United States and planned to invest billions of dollars. Although the new tariffs seem beneficial to many Asian countries, uncertainty remains.
Analysts point out that the current US government still hopes to implement higher tariffs, and recently signed trade agreements lack the clear legal enforceability of traditional treaties. Smaller Asian economies will also be cautious about their relations with the United States.
China said it is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the ruling and its impact, emphasizing opposition to unilateral increases in tariffs. The US Trade Representative said that the tariff changes will not affect US-China talks. Allies of the United States such as Japan and South Korea are also assessing the ruling and subsequent actions.
