After returning to power for the second time, US President Donald Trump had announced to impose different tariffs on all countries to do business as per their own terms. However, the Supreme Court has declared Trump’s tariff decision illegal. Recently, under the India-US trade deal, the Trump administration had announced to reduce the tariff on India to 18 percent. In such a situation, after the order of the US Court, questions have started rising in the minds of people that how much tariff will India have to pay?
How much tariff will Trump charge from India now?
India-US trade deal may be finalized by March 2026. After the decision of the US court, President Trump announced the implementation of a new global tariff of 10 percent, which will be implemented immediately. In such a situation, now 10 percent tariff will be applicable on India instead of 18 percent. Earlier this month, when the US and India announced agreement on a framework for an interim trade agreement, Trump issued an executive order removing the 25 percent punitive duty imposed on India on Russian oil purchases.
The US President had said that India has committed to stop importing energy directly or indirectly from Moscow and buy American energy products. Following the court’s decision, Trump signed a proclamation stating that the temporary import tariffs are being imposed to address fundamental international payments problems and to rebalance our trade relations in the interest of American workers, farmers and manufacturers.
What did Trump say about India-America trade deal?
According to Trump’s announcement, 10 percent import duty will be imposed on goods imported into America based on their value for a period of 150 days. A few hours after the court’s decision, when Trump was asked at the White House on Friday (20 February 2026) whether the framework of the proposed interim trade agreement with India would remain in place even after the Supreme Court’s decision, he said, ‘Nothing will change and India will have to pay duty.’ However, the White House later clarified that legally 10 percent tariff will be imposed on India for the time being.
Trump announced 10 percent tariff on all countries
A White House official said, ‘A temporary 10 percent tariff will now be imposed on all countries that have trade agreements with America.’ However, according to a White House fact sheet, 50 percent tariff under Section 232 will be applicable on steel and aluminum and 25 percent tariff on some auto parts. An Indian government delegation is expected to visit Washington DC next week to seek clarity on this issue.
