Two separate legal cases tackling Trump’s tariffs may push the U.S. administration to strike a quicker deal, analysts say.

A flurry of U.S. court rulings over the legality of Donald Trump’s tariffs have strengthened the EU’s hand in ongoing negotiations, European trade war watchers say.

Italian Member of the European Parliament Brando Benifei, who sits on the trade committee and visited the U.S. this week with fellow lawmakers, thinks the possibility of the tariffs ultimately being ruled unlawful will speed up talks.

“I think it will push the U.S. administration to reach a deal as quick as possible,” as Trump faces a more unstable situation domestically, he told POLITICO Friday.
