00:25A shockwave from the U.S. Supreme Court
00:27is now rippling across global trade.
00:30After the court struck down major tariffs
00:32tied to President Trump's trade war,
00:35China is demanding Washington immediately scrap
00:38what it calls illegal and harmful duties,
00:41warning that economic confrontation
00:42between the world's two largest economies benefits no one.
00:47China's Commerce Ministry says
00:48it is conducting a full assessment of the ruling,
00:51but insists unilateral tariffs
00:53violate international trade rules
00:55and even U.S. law.
00:58Beijing says cooperation between China and the United States
01:01brings mutual benefits,
01:03but trade conflict only damages both economies.
01:06The Supreme Court decision dealt a blow
01:09to Trump's trade strategy
01:10by invalidating a range of tariffs
01:12imposed on major Asian exporters,
01:15including China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan,
01:19key players in global technology and supply chains.
01:22Yet within hours of the ruling,
01:24Trump signaled he was not backing down.
01:26He announced a new tariff plan
01:29under a rarely used legal provision
01:31that could allow duties up to 15% on imports,
01:35though extending them would require congressional approval.
01:38Chinese analysts say such tariff moves
01:41are increasingly being used as political tools
01:44rather than economic policy.
01:46Beijing warns it will safeguard its interests
01:48and respond if Washington escalates
01:50the trade confrontation further.
01:52The ruling has already sent uncertainty
01:55across global markets.
01:57South Korea says industries from cars
01:59to semiconductors are watching closely,
02:01while India has delayed trade talks with Washington
02:04amid confusion over future tariff policy.
02:08Trade tensions are now expected
02:10to dominate the agenda
02:11when President Trump visits China
02:13in the coming weeks
02:14for talks with President Xi Jinping,
02:16a meeting that could determine
02:18whether the two powers ease tensions
02:20or slide into another economic confrontation.
02:23For now, the court ruling has exposed cracks
02:26in Washington's trade strategy.
02:28China is pressing for a reset,
02:31Trump is signaling escalation,
02:33and businesses around the world
02:35are bracing for the next move
02:36in a rivalry that shapes the global economy.
