The podcast discusses new tariffs imposed by Trump, a ruling from the US Supreme Court on the legality of tariffs, and implications for EU relations, as well as cybersecurity legislation in Poland known as Lex Huawei.
In the latest episode of the "Your Business" podcast, significant focus is placed on new tariffs announced by former President Donald Trump. The US Supreme Court has determined that the tariffs implemented in 2025, which included a 10% minimum tariff on imports from nearly all countries and a 15% tariff on goods from the EU, are illegal. This ruling not only halts the collection of these tariffs but also opens the door for the potential refund of up to $250 billion. Despite this legal setback, Trump quickly enacted new regulations proposing a fresh 10% tariff on imports and hinting at a possible increase to 15%. This ongoing trade dispute has reignited tensions between the United States, the EU, and Asian partners.
The episode further delves into the newly proposed cybersecurity law in Poland, known as Lex Huawei, which introduces new responsibilities for cybersecurity within the national framework. This legislation, which allows for the exclusion of suppliers deemed to pose high risks from the market, will require companies and public institutions to implement comprehensive security management systems. The move is indicative of Poland’s commitment to enhancing its cybersecurity posture amidst escalating global concerns about technological vulnerabilities.
Lastly, the podcast explores threats from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, highlighting the geopolitical tensions in Central Europe. With rising concerns over migration and European Union policies, Orbán's statements convey a hardline stance that could further strain relations within the EU and impact regional stability. This discourse emphasizes the interconnected nature of trade, cybersecurity, and political dynamics in Europe today.
