Vote on Turnberry agreement should be paused

Today, the US Supreme Court ruled against President Trump’s tariffs, which were enacted under a federal law meant for national emergencies.

Greens/EFA MEP Anna Cavazzini, shadow rapporteur on EU-US trade comments:

"Now we have proof that Trump’s tariffs were not legal under international or US law. The next steps remain unclear. I worry that Trump will continue to misuse his powers until he finds a way to impose his unjustified tariffs. The vote on the Turnberry agreement in the European Parliament should be paused until we have clarity.”

Greens/EFA MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, shadow rapporteur on EU-US relations and Vice-President of Greens/EFA comments:

"A lot of us have been saying all along that the current administration has been overstepping its authority. We have been awaiting an institutional response by American democracy. Disappointingly, such a response has not been coming. Lives have been lost, a lot of damage has been caused. But now, the voice of justice is loud and clear. At least in the area of tariffs. I hope this is a first step on the path to restoring separation of powers and democratic accountability in the United States and rules in international relations.”
