A game-changing US Supreme Court judgment has dismantled Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy, drawing praise from India’s political circles, particularly AAP’s Ashok Mittal.
Recapping events, Mittal explained how an interim trade agreement had brought tariffs down to 18% before a sharp 50% surge on August 27, 2025. The court, in a decisive 6-3 vote—including Trump appointees—deemed it unlawful under 1970 statutes.
‘Heartfelt thanks to the Supreme Court,’ Mittal posted, optimistic about tariffs dipping to 10%.
RJD MP Manoj Jha demanded governmental transparency, decrying the absence of post-statement clarifications in Parliament, which breeds doubt.
In Patna, RJD’s Mrityunjay Tiwari observed Trump’s resistance to the binding ruling.
Congress’s Surendra Rajput emphasized domestic relevance: ‘US actions are theirs; we care about trader relief from 18%. While BJP toasts, remember US judicial freedom—unlike Rahul Gandhi’s two-year sentence in Gujarat courts.’
This development could reshape bilateral trade, reducing costs for Indian goods entering the US market. It reaffirms judicial checks on policy excesses, with implications for future disputes.
