Breakingviews - Tariff refund spigot leaves Congress tapped out
President Trump pushed trade levies as a multi-trillion revenue raiser. As the Supreme Court weighs nixing them, he wants to send $450 bln he might not have to consumers, upping deficits and inflation. The idea is bad; further severing legislators from spending plans is worse.

No, it certainly does not. These frameworks are not agreements. The report assumes Japan's investment pledges guarantee something.
To add, WTO Agreements do not spare Japan from increased tariffs either; they afford a way for Japan to assert harm and seek mutual agreement or concession rebalancing.

Japan might be spared U.S. President Donald Trump's 100% tariffs on pharmaceuticals as it has a most-favored-nation agreement with the U.S. that should cover these products.

European Commission seems confident:
“The United States intends to promptly ensure that the tariff rate (…) applied to originating goods of the European Union subject to Section 232 actions on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and lumber does not exceed 15%.”

The first big test of the EU-US trade deal: Trump moves to impose 100% on pharma.
Brussels has said the 15% tariff under the deal will be “all-inclusive” and protect EU firms from additional duties. Will it work?
