US-India Tariffs: Three US lawmakers have taken a big step against the heavy tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on imports from India. Three members of the US House of Representatives introduced a resolution on Friday, the purpose of which is to end Trump’s national emergency declaration.

Under this emergency, up to 50 percent duty was imposed on goods coming from India. Lawmakers called these tariffs illegal and said they were hurting American workers, consumers and India-US relations.

Which MPs presented the proposal

This proposal has been introduced by MPs Deborah Ross, Mark VC and Raja Krishnamurthy. This step has been taken at a time when earlier a bipartisan proposal has been brought in the US Senate related to banning the President’s emergency powers to eliminate similar tariffs imposed on Brazil and increase import duties.

Demand to remove additional duties imposed on India

According to the statement issued, this proposal demands cancellation of the additional 25 percent secondary duty imposed on India, which was imposed on August 27, 2025. This duty was imposed on top of the reciprocal tariffs already in place, increasing the total import duty on many Indian products to 50 percent. This action was taken under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

North Carolina’s economy is deeply linked to India

Congresswoman Deborah Ross said, ‘North Carolina’s economy is deeply linked to India through trade, investment and a vibrant Indian American community.’ He said that Indian companies have invested more than one billion dollars in North Carolina, creating thousands of jobs in sectors like life sciences and technology. At the same time, manufacturers from the state export goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars to India every year.

Burden on American consumers too: VC

Congressman Mark VC said that India is an important cultural, economic and strategic partner of America. He alleged that these illegal tariffs are like additional taxes on ordinary American citizens. According to the VC, ‘These fees are burdening the common people of North Texas, who are already struggling with rising inflation.’

‘Tariffs are harmful and counterproductive’

Indian American Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy called these tariffs ‘adverse and harmful’. He said this is disrupting the supply chain, hurting American workers and increasing prices for consumers. Krishnamurthy stressed, ‘Eliminating these tariffs will help strengthen economic and security cooperation between the US and India.’

Democrats’ effort to challenge Trump’s trade policy

This proposal is part of a broader effort by the Democratic Party in Congress, under which Trump’s unilateral trade policies are being challenged and efforts are being made to strengthen America’s relations with India.

Demand to reverse the policy has been made earlier also

Earlier in October, Deborah Ross, Mark VC and Raja Krishnamurthy, along with MP Ro Khanna and 19 other members of Congress, had appealed to the President to withdraw the tariffs imposed on India and improve the deteriorating bilateral relations. The statement issued said, ‘Eliminating the tariffs imposed by Trump on India is part of a broader effort by Congress to reclaim its constitutional rights on trade and to stop the misuse of emergency powers by the President.’

Buying oil from Russia became the reason for tariff

It is noteworthy that in August, President Trump had decided to impose 25 percent tariff on Indian products from August 1. A few days later, it was increased by another 25 percent, taking the total fee to 50 percent. The Trump administration had cited India’s continued purchase of oil from Russia as the reason for this and claimed that this provides financial help to Moscow in the Ukraine war.

A report has been sent to the US Congress, in which many major revelations have been made regarding the security of Asia. The 2025 report of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission says that this year the activities of India, China, Pakistan and Russia most influenced the politics and security of entire Asia. According to the report, the role of the three countries on big forums like India-Pakistan clash of May 2025, China-India border talks and SCO-BRICS was most important this year.

India-Pakistan four-day war: biggest confrontation in 50 years
The report states that the conflict that took place between India and Pakistan from 7 to 10 May 2025 was the biggest military conflict of the last 50 years. In response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, the Indian Army attacked nine places in Pakistan on May 7 and destroyed terrorist hideouts. These terrorist hideouts belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen. 26 innocent people lost their lives in the Pahalgam attack. India responded strongly and both countries launched air and missile attacks deeper into each other’s areas than before. The report says that this had never happened in the last five decades.

China gave live information to Pakistan
The report also includes a statement from the Indian Army, which says that during the confrontation, China sent live, real-time information about the Indian Army to Pakistan, i.e. complete updates about where the Indian soldiers are and how they are moving. Pakistan called these claims false, while China did not give any clear response. The report says that China used this opportunity to test its technology and weapons in real war.

82 percent of Pakistan’s weapons are Chinese
According to the report, between 2019 and 2023, 82% of Pakistan’s weapons came from China. These Chinese weapons were used for the first time in real war in the war of May 2025. HQ-9 air defense, PL-15 missile and J-10 fighter jet were used by Pakistan in this fight. After the war, China also offered to sell 40 new J-35 fighter planes, KJ-500 and new missile-defense technology to Pakistan.

China spread fake AI pictures regarding Rafale
There is another shocking claim in the report. It said that immediately after the clash, China spread fake AI photos and videos on social media to defame India’s Rafale aircraft. Fake accounts shared fake images created by AI and video game style pictures and claimed that Chinese weapons had brought down the Indian Rafale. French intelligence agencies investigated this claim and confirmed that Indonesia stopped the Rafale deal due to this propaganda.

China-Pakistan partnership further strengthened by military exercises
The report says that in 2024 and 2025, China and Pakistan conducted several joint military exercises, such as Warrior-VIII and AMAN Naval Drill. These exercises show that the China-Pakistan security partnership is stronger than ever and is a direct threat to India’s security.

India-China talks increased, but trust did not return
In the report, the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Tianjin has been described as a big step. Both the countries agreed to reduce border tensions, increase economic relations, restart flights and open Tibet for Indian travelers by 2026, but the report clearly says that these things remained only on paper. Neither the border situation changed on the ground nor the soldiers retreated.

India and China’s thinking on border dispute is completely opposite
The report says that China wants to consider the border dispute as a separate issue and move forward with other relations like trade, but India says that unless there is peace on the border, other relations cannot move forward. This is the biggest security issue for India.

India, China and Russia in the same line for the first time in SCO
At the SCO meeting held in Tianjin in August-September 2025, India, China and Russia signed a joint declaration criticizing the US and Israel’s bombing of Iran. This was the first time that India signed an indirect criticism of America at an international forum. On India’s demand, the Pahalgam terrorist attack of 2025 was also included in this announcement.

China-Russia are creating a new power structure through BRICS-SCO
The report says that China and Russia are creating a new global structure in comparison to the Western countries by combining BRICS and SCO. Among the 10 BRICS countries, China alone accounts for 62% of GDP and is described as the voice of the Global South. The report describes SCO as a big platform against America, in which India is also an important member.

The entire picture of Asia will change in 2025. The security partnership between China and Pakistan has become very strong. India-China talks are continuing, but trust has not returned between the two. Russia and China are building BRICS and SCO as a new global power, in which India is also playing a key role. The report warns that if the situation continues like this, tensions and power struggles in Asia may increase in the coming years.

A bilateral bill has been introduced in the US Parliament, which is named Pakistan Freedom and Accountability Act (HR 5271). Its objective is to impose strict restrictions on Pakistani military and government officials who weakened serious human rights violations in Pakistan and weakening democracy. The bill has been specially brought to target senior officers of the Pakistani Army.

Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (2016) is an American law. It allows human rights violations and property seizure, visa ban and economic restrictions on individuals/institutions involved in corruption worldwide. Under this law, the US President gets the power of action.

Who brought the bill?
The bill was introduced by Republican MP Bill Huzenga from Michigan. It received the support of several leaders including Democrat MP Sydney Kamalagar-Dov, Republican MP John Mulanar, Democrat Julie Johnson, Republican Jefferson Shrev. Additional co-operatives include Rich McCormic, Jack Bergman, Joquin Castro and Mike Laler. The bill has been sent to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Judiciary Committee for review.

Bill purpose
Protecting democracy and free and fair elections in Pakistan. To promote human rights, rule of law and freedom of expression. The current and former officials of the Pakistani Army and Security Forces are to be involved in human rights violations, large -scale corruption, political instability spreading. Under this, US President can impose visa ban, property freeze and other economic restrictions.

Why is this bill important?
In recent months, there was a little warm in the relationship between America and Pakistan, but it is clear from this bill that America is serious about increasing human rights violations in Pakistan and threat to democratic institutions. This step reflects the importance of human rights and democracy in US foreign policy.

The US is once again moving towards declaring ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ as officially a terrorist organization. This step is not only important in terms of US national security, but will also strengthen the global efforts to deal with the ideological structure of political Islamism. This information is given in a report by The Capital Institute.

According to the report, a bipartisan bill has been introduced in mid-July by Republican MP Mario Diaz-Balart and Democratic MP Jred Moscowitz, demanding to declare Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt has also confirmed this initiative.

The bipartisan bill received support from many major policy institutions

The report said, “This bilateral consent shows the growing understanding that even though the Muslim Brotherhood presents itself as a political movement, it is actually a conceptual source of violent Islamic networks like Hamas to Al-Qaeda.”

The bill has also received support from several major policy institutions of America, such as Heritage Foundation, Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN) and American Midrist Coalition for Democracy (AMCD). These organizations have long revealed that the Muslim Brotherhood adopts a double strategy. On the one hand it offers modern image, on the other hand supports groups applying its agenda through violent mediums.

American Senator Ted Cruise has been the old supporters of such bills. He has been introducing a bill to declare Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization since 2015.

Establishment was done with the purpose of restoration of Islamic Khilafat

According to the report, the danger of Muslim Brotherhood is not just a political movement but a global project, which is in the fundamentalist thinking of Hasan al-Banna and Syed Qutub. In 1928, Egyptian Sufi pracharak Hasan Al-Banna founded Jamia Hasafia al-Khairia, which aims to restore the Islamic Khilafat. Later it was named Al-Ekhawan al-Muslimoon i.e. Muslim Brotherhood.

After the murder of Al-Banna in 1949, Syed Qutub took over the organization and prepared an ideological structure that later inspired jihadi organizations such as al-Qaeda and ISIS.

What did Osama bin Laden’s mother say,

The report stated that Osama bin Laden’s mother had admitted that her son Abdullah became a radical after coming into contact with a Palestinian Brotherhood member named Ajjam. Ajjam admitted him to King Abdulaziz University of Jeddah. At the same time, the current head of al-Qaeda Ayman Al-Jawahiri also started with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Us golden dome system: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (May 20) has announced a new and ambitious missile security system ‘Golden Dome’. The purpose of this system is to immediately detect, track and destroy the enemy missiles through satellite. US President Trump has kept a budget of $ 25 billion for the ‘Golden Dome plan’. However, it is about to cost about 175 billion dollars to create the entire system. Its complete construction will be done in America.

Talking about the Golden Dome project, President Trump said that it will be ready by the end of my tenure. The Trump administration has entrusted the responsibility of the Golden Dome project, General Michael Guitalin. It is inspired by Israeli’s ‘Iron Dome’ system, but its scope is much larger and space based. It will include a network of hundreds of monitoring satellites. These satellites will be helpful in destroying missiles immediately after launch. These will be equipped with real time data sharing and radar intelligence. Apart from this, it will include AI based tracking and fire command. This system will be the first line to space-based defense in the US defense strategy.

Canada’s participation and international dimensions
Trump announced that Canada has shown interest in the Golden Dome project and the US is ready to cooperate with its northern neighbor. America does not want to limit this project only to domestic security. It can open new doors of partnership with NATO countries. It is also a political message for countries like China and Russia. General Michael Gulatin has been nominated as the director of this system and superwaizing commander.

Pentagon has already started work
The Pentagon has already outlined the sensor, satellite and missile tests. Budget is preparing for the construction of the initial phase with acceptance. The Golden Dome project was presented by Trump as an election promise, which has now turned into a policy. With its help, the US will be able to make real time tracking and response of ICBM, Hypersonic and Cruise Missiles. America will get an edge in space dominance. Despite the sensitive system, it will prove to be a high-security defense system.
