THE Philippines is in a “good spot” despite renewed trade uncertainty following a US Supreme Court ruling striking down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs, a Cabinet official said. “We’ll continue to engage with them (the US),” Finance Secretary Frederick Go told reporters on Tuesday. “As I always say, so far, the majority of our semiconductors are exempted and the majority of our key agricultural exports are exempted,” he added. “So, I’d say we’re in a good spot.” The US high court on Friday declared that tariff hikes imposed by Trump last year under an emergency powers act were unlawful, a decision that he heavily criticized and followed up with announcements that duties on all foreign imports would be raised to 10 percent — revised to 15 percent on Saturday. https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/02/25/business/top-business/go-ph-in-a-good-spot-amid-tariff-uncertainty/2283984 (ICE SINGAPORE)
