청와대가 21일 미국 연방대법원의 상호관세 부과 위법 판결 관련해 "연방대법원 판결 내용·미 정부 입장을 종합적으로 살펴보고 국익에 가장 부합하는 방향으로 검토해 나갈 예정"이라고 밝혔다.
청와대는 이날 오전 언론 공지를 통해 "관련 부처와 상황을 공유하고 대응책을 논의해야 한다"며 이같이 전했다.
앞서 20일(현지시간) 미 연방대법원은 국제비상경제권한법(IEEPA)이 대통령에 관세 부과 권한을 주지 않는다며 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 상호관세 부과에 대해 6대 3으로 위법 취지 판결을 했다. 하지만 철강·알루미늄 등에 대한 품목별 관세엔 적용되지 않는다.
트럼프 대통령은 판결 직후 워싱톤 DC 백악관 기자회견에서 "무역법 122조에 근거해 전 세계에 10% 추가 관세를 부과하는 행정명령에 서명하겠다"며 "새 10% 관세가 사흘 후 발효될 것 같은 동시에 무역법 301조에 근거한 관세 조사를 시작한다"고 밝혔다.
'무역법 122조'는 국제수지 문제 대응을 위해 대통령이 최장 150일간 최대 15% 관세를 부과할 권한을 부여하는 한편 '무역법 301조' 경우 외국 정부의 부당·불합리·차별적 행동 등에 맞서 관세를 부과할 권한을 준다.

The Blue House announced it would review the national interest and discuss countermeasures in response to the US ruling that reciprocal tariffs were illegal.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's reciprocal tariffs were illegal because the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) did not grant the president the authority to impose tariffs. However, the ruling did not apply to individual tariffs on items such as steel, and aluminum.

On the 21st, the Blue House announced regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that reciprocal tariff imposition was illegal, "We will comprehensively review the contents of the Supreme Court's ruling and the U.S. government's position and review it in a direction that best serves the national interest."
The Blue House announced this through a press release this morning, saying, "We must share the situation with the relevant ministries and discuss response measures."
On the 20th (local time), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs, stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president the authority to impose tariffs. However, this does not apply to product-specific tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other products.
Immediately following the ruling, President Trump announced at a press conference at the White House in Washington, D.C., that he would sign an executive order imposing an additional 10% tariff worldwide under Section 122 of the Trade Act. He added, "The new 10% tariffs will take effect in three days, and I will also initiate a tariff investigation under Section 301 of the Trade Act."
Article 122 of the Trade Act grants the President the authority to impose tariffs of up to 15% for up to 150 days to address balance of payments issues, while Article 301 of the Trade Act grants the President the authority to impose tariffs in response to unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory actions by foreign governments.
