In a significant move challenging President Donald Trump’s trade policy, three U.S. lawmakers introduced a resolution on Friday aimed at ending the punitive tariffs of up to 50 per cent imposed on imports from India. The action marks a growing pushback in Congress against what critics call unlawful and economically damaging tariff measures.
The resolution, spearheaded by Representatives Deborah Ross, Marc Veasey, and Raja Krishnamoorthi, comes after a bipartisan move in the Senate to scrap similar tariffs on Brazil and rein in the President’s use of emergency powers to hike import duties.
According to the release, the resolution seeks to rescind the additional 25 per cent “secondary" duties imposed on India on August 27, 2025, on top of earlier reciprocal tariffs, which together raised duties on many Indian-origin products to 50 per cent under the Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
