Trump cautions countries against manipulating trade with unfair tariffs
Trump warns of higher tariffs as China urges cancellation, while EU pauses trade deal over Supreme Court ruling.
Washington – (Web Desk) – On Monday, US President Donald Trump warned that countries trying to “play games” with tariffs could face much higher import duties.
Meanwhile, China called on the US to revoke these unilateral measures, and European Union lawmakers said they might pause trade talks with Washington following the Supreme Court ruling.
Trump tweeted that any nation attempting to exploit the controversial Supreme Court decision—especially those he claims have long taken advantage of the US—would face tariffs far higher than previously agreed.
However, China urged the United States to cancel the ‘unilateral’ tariffs announced by President Trump after the US Supreme Court struck down the oft-trumpted tariff measures on imports.

China’s commerce ministry said it was conducting a “comprehensive assessment” of the ruling’s impact, and called on Washington to lift the tariffs.
