EU 'expects' US to honour trade deal as Trump hikes tariffsThe European Parliament's trade committee had been due to approve the EU-US deal on Tuesday. "As the United States' largest trading partner, the EU expects the US to honour its commitments set out in the Joint Statement -- just as the EU stands by its commitments," it added. Trump temporarily raised the global duty on imports into the United States to 15 percent on Saturday. That could be tariffs on the basis of unfair trade practices or trade agreements violations, for example, they wrote. The Supreme Court ruling was a stunning rebuke to Trump from a judicial body that has largely sided with him since his return to office.
