Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers push to repeal Trump's 50% tariffs on India.

A bipartisan group of U.S. Representatives has introduced a resolution urging the repeal of President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods, arguing that these measures are detrimental to U.S.-India relations and American consumers. The resolution stems from concerns that the tariffs, imposed due to India’s purchase of Russian oil, have disrupted supply chains and contributed to inflation, while jeopardizing strategic cooperation with India, a key partner in countering Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific. Lawmakers emphasize the need to regain congressional authority over trade policies and raise alarms about the potential for retaliatory measures from India. The resolution reflects growing unease in Congress regarding escalating trade tensions and could pave the way for renewed discussions on a U.S.-India free trade agreement.
