The time to reap the benefits of this agreement is now, not in a few months. Where others are breaking rules, we provide certainty, predictability and economic opportunities for our consumers and producers! 2/2

Important for business to have clarity and certainty about tariffs applied to products exported to the US as of 24 February and avoid any tariff increases

We request full clarity on the steps the United States intends to take following the recent Supreme Court ruling on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. EU companies and exporters must have fair treatment, predictability and legal certainty. link.europa.eu/NbtNVH

@joshualipsky @AtlanticCouncil Seems you were right, cf:
Selina Wang@selinawangtv
White House official says countries that struck trade deals with the U.S. (including UK, India, Japan, EU) where the administration used the IEEPA authority will now face 10% tariffs This lowers tariff rate for many countries “With IEEPA no longer applicable, those countries will now be tariffed at the global 10% tariff using the Section 122 legal authority. This is, however, only temporary as the Administration will be pursuing other legal authorities to implement more appropriate or pre-negotiated tariff rates”

@joshualipsky @AtlanticCouncil I hope you are right, but let’s see what the executive order says.
English
Just a few of the countries which could see tariff rates drop (at least temporarily) from 15% - 10%. Others like Brazil are at higher rates and stand to benefit. 301s etc will come into play to replace over time.
English
@Rottinghaus_P @LauraEWeiss16 That would invalidate the EU-US framework agreement.

@PeterKirkegaard @LauraEWeiss16 He said "on top of existing tariffs"

President TRUMP says he'll sign an executive order TODAY to impose 10% global tariffs under Section 122
Section 122 tariffs last up to 150 days unless Congress votes to extend them
Trump adds he's initiating investigations under Section 301 and other authorities - which could ultimately be used to levy tariffs
Laura Weiss@LauraEWeiss16
President TRUMP is speaking now about Supreme Court's ruling against his tariffs Trump says he'll use other authorities for tariffs: "Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected. We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money - we'll take in more money, and we'll be a lot stronger for it." "I can charge much more than I was charging," Trump adds Trump lists Section 232, 122, 201, 301 and 338 tariffs as examples
English
@JoannaSopinska Will this replace the 15 pct from EU-US framework? Unclear it seems or what do you think?
English
Trump: And effective today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over above our normal tariffs already being charged.

🇺🇸🇬🇱🇩🇰The Greenland framework President Trump and NATO Secretary General Marc Rutte discussed on Wednesday includes the principle of respecting Denmark's sovereignty over the island, according to two sources briefed on the proposal. My story on @axios

Finally the signature of this landmark agreement that will reinforce our economic and political ties linking our two regions and our people. Yes to Mercosur now is the time!
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
25 years in the making. The EU-Mercosur agreement is the achievement of a generation. For the benefit of generations to come. Long live the friendship between our people and our continents. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

To my Republican colleagues: ENOUGH. It's time for the Senate to vote to block these tariffs and to block the use of military force against Greenland.
Trump is tearing apart our alliances in real time and the economic & diplomatic consequences will be catastrophic.

This response to our own allies for sending a small number of troops to Greenland for training is bad for America, bad for American businesses, and bad for America's allies. It's great for Putin, Xi and other adversaries who want to see NATO divided. The fact that a small handful of "advisors" are actively pushing for coercive action to seize territory of an ally is beyond stupid. It hurts the legacy of President Trump and undercuts all the work he has done to strengthen the NATO alliance over the years.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost
Breaking news: The U.S. will impose tariffs on countries that have sent troops to Greenland in recent days, President Trump said, dramatically escalating his effort to acquire the territory despite assertions that the Arctic island is not for sale. wapo.st/4pPmrqH

These tariffs are unnecessary, punitive, and a profound mistake. They will push our core European allies further away while doing nothing to advance U.S. national security.
We are already seeing the consequences of these measures in real time: our NATO allies are being forced to divert attention and resources to Greenland, a dynamic that plays directly into Putin’s hands by threatening the stability of the strongest coalition of democracies the world has ever seen.
Congress must work together to reassert our Constitutional authority over tariffs so that they are not weaponized in ways that harm our alliances and undermine American leadership.

I just met with the Foreign Ministers of Denmark and Greenland. Senators from across the aisle are standing together to oppose this President’s aggression against a NATO ally.

Yep, he’s a very good person. I can confirm that. I know him well.

Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.' TRUMP: Who said that? Q: The premier of Greenland TRUMP: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

Trump’s 25 pct. tariff on countries trading with Iran raises a couple of questions:
- how does it help Iranian protesters?
- does it apply to the U.S. itself? U.S sold a little under $100 million worth of goods (probably food and medicine) to Iran in 2025.
