A US Supreme Court ruling invalidated tariffs imposed under Trump’s emergency powers, declaring them unlawful under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. South Korea confirmed its broader trade agreement with the US remains intact despite the decision, which nullifies a 15% reciprocal tariff on Korean imports. Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan convened an emergency meeting Saturday to evaluate the ruling’s impact on bilateral trade relations and economic policies. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources stated the tariff removal applies immediately, affecting Korean exports subject to the now-void 15% levy. The decision underscores legal limits on executive trade authority but leaves core US-South Korea trade frameworks, including the KORUS agreement, unaffected.
