How Doland Trump imposed tariffs on India(BHARAT)?
For a background information, US President Doland Trump imposed tariffs of up to 50% on several countries, including India(BHARAT), under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, even though the act does not explicitly mention tariffs. Consequently, American small businesses and trade organizations challenged this, arguing that only the Senate has the authority to impose tariffs.
What court said on whether Doland Trump has overstepped his authority?
On August 29, 2025, the Federal Circuit Appeals Court ruled by a 7-4 majority that Trump had overstepped his authority. The Trump administration has filed an appeal and warned that if the tariffs are lifted, it could face restitution of $750 billion to $1 trillion. The case will now be heard in the Supreme Court in November.
How will tariff elimination help India(BHARAT)n exporters?
For India(BHARAT), Trump’s tariffs have caused approximately $35 billion in losses to key exports such as textiles, jewelry, auto parts, and pharmaceuticals. Removing the tariffs would boost India(BHARAT)n exports, protect jobs, and strengthen trade relations with the United States. However, if the decision is delayed, India(BHARAT) could continue to suffer losses.
