When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration illegally imposed tariffs under IEEPA, markets reacted fast. But relief quickly gave way to confusion.
In this episode, Deborah Elms, Head of Trade Policy at the Singapore-based Hinrich Foundation, explains what happened in the first 72 hours, why some countries now feel blindsided, and how the administration’s pivot to other tariff tools could make this moment more durable, not less.
We cover:
- Who wins and loses across Asia-Pacific
- Which sectors remain exposed under Section 232 and 301
- Whether the ruling strengthens U.S. constitutional guardrails
- How regional blocs like RCEP and CPTPP are accelerating
- What boards and CEOs should do now
Elms argues this is not just a legal correction. It may be a structural shift in global trade architecture — one that will shape corporate strategy and geopolitical alignment for years to come.
