President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Indian goods.
-
A U.S. court ruled that most of Trump’s tariffs on Indian goods were based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which the court found to be illegal. This means the court said Trump used the wrong legal authority to impose these tariffs.
-
The tariffs are not removed immediately. They remain in effect until October 14, after which there is a 60-day period to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. So, the tariffs will stay in place until the legal process is resolved.
-
Trump has not agreed with the court’s decision. He has said that all tariffs are still in effect and that removing them would be bad for the country, showing his resistance to the legal challenge and his belief in the tariffs’ importance for protecting American industries.
-
Relations between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have worsened due to the trade dispute, and Trump has no plans to visit India for the Quad Summit, reflecting the strained relationship.
while a court has ruled against the legality of some of Trump’s tariffs, the tariffs remain in effect until the legal process is completed. Trump is unlikely to remove them without a major legal or political change.
