A federal appeal court in the US, giving possible relief for India, has declared the tariff imposed on India by President Donald Trump as illegal. The court said in its judgment that Trump did not have such widespread rights that he could impose such fees. However, the court has allowed Tariff to continue till October 14, so that the Trump administration can get a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Trump will challenge the court’s decision
Trump criticized the court’s decision, calling it biased. He said that he would challenge this decision in the Supreme Court, where he is expected to get help. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “If it is allowed to remain like this, this decision will truly destroy the United States.”
Referring to the temporary ban, the Deputy Press Secretary of the White House, Kush Desai said that the tariffs imposed by the President will still be applicable and they hope that the government will win the matter in the end. This decision applies to taxes which were imposed under the law of international economic emergency and not the taxes related to security.
Will India get relief?
If India survives the legal challenge in the US Supreme Court, then 25 percent tariffs imposed on it will definitely be removed. However, it is not clear whether the 25 percent of the punitive fee levied on purchasing oil from Russia is also involved in the decision, as Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nom says that the fee was levied to deal with the threat to the US from Russia.
The court’s decision does not include the fees that have been imposed on steel, aluminum and copper due to national security, so it seems that the oil tariff on oil can still continue.
Right to impose tariffs with US Parliament- Court
The US Court of Appeals have ruled by a 7-4 majority that the right to impose tariffs is mainly with the Congress (US Parliament), not to the President. This decision is against Trump’s tariff decision. The court said that the power to impose tariffs in the constitution has been given especially to the Congress.
When the Trump government started a trade war, he used the IEEPA law and said that due to the trade deficit, there has been an economic emergency situation in the country. On the basis of this, he imposed tariff on goods. The court said that the law has not been given the right to impose tariffs or tax clearly.
Former acting Solicitor General Neel Katiyal was among the major lawyers of the Democratic states and group of small businesses, who challenged Trump’s right to put tariffs in court.
