The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump went beyond his authority while imposing “reciprocal tariffs” under emergency powers. As a result, these tariffs on countries including India are now cancelled.
-India’s additional tariff on exports to the US is no longer effective, and trade moves back to normal MFN rates.
-This brings immediate relief to exporters and improves price competitiveness for Indian goods.
-However, the US may still reintroduce tariffs using other legal routes ,so uncertainty isn’t fully over.
For now, it’s a positive window for Indian exporters and global trade sentiment.
- The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s tariffs for exceeding legal authority
- The court ruled 6-3 that tariffs under IEEPA were not permitted without congressional approval
- Trump imposed tariffs in 2025 citing a national emergency to address trade deficits
