Will Modi Govt Now Cancel US-India Trade Deal? Congress Takes Aim at PM After Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump's Tariffs
- On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated Trump's tariffs, but Trump insisted `Nothing changes, they’ll be paying tariffs, and we will not be paying tariffs` in support of the India deal.
- Legal limits on presidential tariff authority narrowed as the Court held the 1977 IEEPA does not grant tariff power, reaffirming Congress controls tariffs and the administration will use alternatives.
- Trump announced a policy pivot, saying he will sign a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act , effective in three days, while Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs remain and new 301 probes have launched.
- Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the interim agreement will be signed in March and implemented in April, cutting tariffs from 50% to 18%, but legal clarity on the 18% rate remains uncertain.
- Trump tied trade tactics to geopolitical aims when he claimed he stopped the India-Pakistan conflict largely by threatening 200% tariffs, but New Delhi rejected linking the trade deal to the conflict and Trump railed against justices.
