Congressional Resolution Seeks to Terminate Trump's India Tariffs

Three US lawmakers introduced a resolution in Congress to end tariffs imposed by President Trump on India. They argue the tariffs weaken partnerships and harm economic interests. This initiative aims to restore Congress' trade authority and end detrimental tariff strategies, fostering better US-India economic relations.

Three influential US lawmakers have put forth a resolution in Congress aimed at ending tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on India. The lawmakers criticize the tariffs as an "irresponsible" strategy that weakens crucial partnerships.

The resolution, introduced by Representatives Deborah Ross, Marc Veasey, and Raja Krishnamoorthi, aims to terminate the national emergency under which Trump authorized tariffs of up to 50% on Indian imports. This measure is seen as a way to restore Congress's constitutional authority over trade.

Critics argue that the tariffs disrupt supply chains and increase consumer costs, rather than advancing American interests. The resolution is part of a larger effort to rein in the President's emergency powers to impose tariffs and restore constitutional checks and balances on trade policy.
