A coalition of twelve states, primarily governed by Democrats, has taken legal action against President Trump, contesting the legality of his implemented tariffs. The states are alleging that Trump is exceeding his jurisdiction and claim that only Congress holds the constitutional authority to enforce tariffs. This move signifies the ongoing battle between the states and the federal government over trade policies, with the states aiming to curb the unilateral decisions made by the President. The legal challenge comes at a time when trade tensions between the United States and various other countries, including India, are escalating. The outcome of this legal dispute could have far-reaching implications for the country’s trade relations and the balance of power between the states and the federal government. President Trump has been a proponent of imposing tariffs as a means to protect American industries and jobs, while critics argue that these tariffs could lead to a trade war and harm the overall economy. The states involved in the lawsuit are hoping to set a precedent that would limit the President’s ability to impose tariffs without congressional approval. This development adds another layer of complexity to the already intricate web of trade policies and regulations that are affecting businesses and consumers in India and around the world.
