US President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that the United States would have to “release” trade agreements with the European Union, Japan, South Korea and others if they lose the case of tariffs currently heading to the Supreme Court, as stated by Reuters.
He added that defeat could cause the country to “suffer so much”.
Trump talked to reporters in the White House and said his administrative plans would be attacked by a recent decision to appeal against an American appeal that decided that many of his tariffs were illegal. Despite the failure, he expressed the certainty that the Supreme Court would eventually stand up with his administration, Reuters reported.

“We have made an agreement with the European Union where almost trillion dollars pay us. And you know what?” I think we would have to rest them. “
The first notes meant the first time Trump explicitly suggested that business agreements with the main partners negotiated independently from the tariffs if the Supreme Court followed last Friday.
He claimed that the conversion of tariffs would be financially harmful.
However, business experts point out that tariffs are paid by US importers, not foreign companies and economists warned that such duties tend to increase inflation on the domestic market.
“Our country has a chance to be incredibly rich again. It could also be incredibly poor. If we do not win this case, our country will suffer so very much,” Trump said.

The Court of Appeal dealt with the legality of what Trump calls “mutual” tariffs, which were first stored as part of a trade war in April, as well as a separate set of tariffs stored in February against China, Canada and Mexico. The decision does not have an impact on tariffs issued on the basis of another legal body such as such steel and aluminum imports.
Business experts said his comments on the costs of canceling tariffs were intended to convince the Supreme Court that the removal of tariffs would release the main economic chaos, Reuters reported.
Reuters said Ryan Majerus, a former US business official, who is now a partner of King & Spalding, said that from the beginning it was clear that business agreements with the EU and other business partners were framework agreements that were to be amended, not fully forested business agreements.

“The President’s announcement today that the agreements could be reflected, reflects the effort to maximize the lever effect on the American side,” he said.
Legal and commercial experts say that 6-3 most Republican judges may slightly improve Trump’s chance of maintaining at least some of the tariffs after the Court of Appeal ruled 7-4 last week that they were illegal.
All these stores are ready.

However, it is said that it is difficult to predict exactly what the court will do, given the decision in previous cases and the unprecedented nature of the call.
