U.S. Supreme Court rejects tariffs LIVE | India faces lower 10% tariff after Trump's proclamation on new levies, effective Feb. 24
"null"After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being “compromised”, saying his “betrayal” in the India-U.S. interim trade deal stood exposed.
The Congress alleged that the trade deal had become an “ordeal” for the country subjected to by the Prime Minister’s “desperation and surrender”.
“The PM is compromised. His betrayal now stands exposed. He can’t renegotiate. He will surrender again,” Mr. Gandhi said in a post on X.- PTI
At the centre of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court verdict striking down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs is an Indian-origin lawyer who argued before America’s highest court about the illegality of the levies.
Neal Katyal, the son of Indian immigrants and the former Acting Solicitor General of the United States under President Barack Obama, argued the consequential tariff case on behalf of small businesses and won.
Indian-origin lawyer Neal Katyal wins landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, striking down Trump's tariffs and championing small businesses.
“The ruling invalidates country-specific “reciprocal tariffs” and fentanyl-linked duties imposed on imports from major trading partners,” Ajay Srivastava, founder of the think-tank Global Trade Research Initiative said. “The decision effectively renders recent trade deals initiated or concluded by the United States with the UK, Japan, the EU, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and India one-sided and useless. Partner countries may now find reasons to dump these deals.”
U.S. tariffs remain on Indian exports despite the Supreme Court striking down reciprocal tariffs, affecting various sectors and trade deals.
Businesses face a new wave of uncertainty after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under an emergency powers law and Mr. Trump vowed to work around the ruling to keep his tariffs in place.
The Trump administration says its tariffs help boost American manufacturers and reduce the trade gap. But many U.S. businesses have had to raise prices and adjust in other ways to offset higher costs spurred by the tariffs.
It remains to be seen how much relief businesses and consumers will actually get from Friday’s ruling. Within hours of the court’s decision, Mr. Trump pledged to use a different law to impose a 10% tariff on all imports that would last 150 days, and to explore other ways to impose additional tariffs on countries he says engage in unfair trade practices.- AP
India benefits from a reduced 10% tariff rate after Trump's new import surcharge following a Supreme Court ruling against his tariffs.
India now faces a lower tariff rate of 10%, down from 18%, after U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday (February 20, 2026) announced a new global levy in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict against his tariffs. The proclamation said a “temporary import surcharge of 10% ad valorem” on articles imported into the U.S. is effective for a period of 150 days starting February 24.

President Donald Trump’s decision to add a new 10% tariff on imports going into the U.S. will benefit Hong Kong as a trade hub, a senior official in the city said on Saturday (February 21, 2026).
Christopher Hui, the Secretary for financial services and the Treasury, called the tariff situation in the U.S. a “fiasco” during an interview with Commercial Radio Hong Kong. The new levy serves to underscore Hong Kong’s “unique trade advantages”, he added.

Democrats, led by Governor Pritzker, demand nearly $9 billion in tariff refunds after Supreme Court ruling against Trump's tariffs.
As the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs, the Congress on Saturday (February 21, 2026) alleged that the India-U.S. interim trade deal is an “ordeal” the country is being subjected to by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “desperation and surrender”.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also claimed that if Prime Minister Modi had not been so “desperate” to protect his fragile image and waited just 18 days more, Indian farmers would have been saved their agony and distress, and Indian sovereignty would have been protected.
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Saturday (February 21, 2026), in a post on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling rejecting Trump’s tariffs, raised a “directly related” question: “Will the Modi Government now show the courage to walk out of a one-sided U.S.-India Trade Deal”
Elaborating on Sections 122, 232 and 301, he referenced the India-U.S. trade deal and asked whether the government will “protect national interests”.
This comes after U.S. President Trump said nothing changes with the trade agreement and that India would be paying tariffs, while U.S. will not do so.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is demanding a refund. The Democrat’s gubernatorial campaign has released a letter addressed to President Trump — with an attached invoice for $8.68 billion — following the Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs.
“Your tariff taxes wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies and sent grocery prices through the roof,” wrote Mr. Pritzker, who’s eyed as a 2028 presidential contender and has repeatedly sparred with the President.
“This morning, your hand-picked Supreme Court justices notified you that they are also unconstitutional.” The invoice, marked “Past Due—Delinquent,” sets the tariffs’ cost at $1,700 for each of the state’s 5.11 million households, a total of $8,679,261,600.
Mr. Pritzker says failure to pay will elicit “further action.”

The head of the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council has said the ruling adds “uncertainty and confusion” but it is not a deal breaker for U.S.-ASEAN economic ties.
“At the end of the day, Southeast Asian leaders are deeply pragmatic; they recognise the scale of the U.S. market and the quality and staying power of U.S. investments,” said Brian McFeeters, president and CEO of the business council.
He said the broader trajectory remains “firmly intact.” ASEAN is a grouping of ten governments in Southeast Asia.
Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia have reached trade agreements with the Trump administration.

More than $175 billion in U.S. tariff collections are subject to potential refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s broad emergency tariffs, Penn-Wharton Budget Model economists said.
Their estimate was derived from a ground-up forecasting model that uses tariff rates by product and country for specific duties imposed by Trump, including those under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), said Lysle Boller, senior economist for Penn-Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), a non-partisan fiscal research group at the University of Pennsylvania.
“The Supreme Court did not talk explicitly about the $175 billion in tariffs that could potentially be refunded. On the other hand, their ruling today clearly does open that door for those refunds to be demanded,” PWBM director Kent Smetters said.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said his office would launch several new investigations under the Section 301 trade provision, covering most major trading partners and areas such as pharmaceutical product pricing.
Mr. Greer said the administration was confident that all trade deals negotiated by President Donald Trump would stay in effect after the Supreme Court struck down on tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
On Friday (February 21, 2026), Mr. Trump imposed a temporary global import duty of 10% for 150 days, and said he would order USTR to open new investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, but gave no details.

U.S. trading partners that have reached tariff deals with President Donald Trump’s administration will now also face a 10% duty, despite higher levels they may have agreed on previously, the White House said Friday (February 20, 2026).
This comes as the Supreme Court struck down Mr. Trump’s country-specific tariffs imposed using emergency economic powers.
“This is, however, only temporary as the administration will be pursuing other legal authorities to implement more appropriate or pre-negotiated tariff rates,” a White House official told AFP.
U.S. trading partners face a new 10% tariff after Trump signs order, following a Supreme Court ruling on previous tariffs.
Canadian International Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling reinforces Ottawa’s position that the levies were “unjustified.”
But he noted that the tariffs causing the most pain in Canada -- sector-specific measures affecting the steel, aluminum and auto industries -- remained in force.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce cautioned against viewing the court’s decision as “a reset of U.S. trade policy.”
“Canada should prepare for new, blunter mechanisms to be used to reassert trade pressure, potentially with broader and more disruptive effects,” the chamber’s President Candace Laing, said in a statement.

U.S. President Donald Trump alluded to Section 301, 232 and 122 tariffs during his press conference after the U.S. Supreme Court said his use of emergency powers granted by them was unlawfully used to impose sweeping tariffs on imports.
Mr Trump used the IEEP to impose ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on countries on April 2, 2025. He had imposed IEEP based tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada for failing, he said, to adequately control the flow of migrants and fentanyl into the U.S. Mr. Trump said he would explore “other alternatives” to work around the Supreme Court decision.

Germany said it was in “close contact” with the U.S. and wanted “stability” in trade links, after the Supreme Court ruled illegal most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign trade.
The government “has noted the decision of the Supreme Court. We remain in close contact with the American government to obtain clarifications on the next steps to take to guarantee stability and predictability in commercial relations,” said a government spokesman in a statement sent to AFP.
U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that most trade deals negotiated under the threat of his tariffs remained valid, mentioning specifically India, despite the Supreme Court ruling those levies illegal.
“The India deal is on,” Mr. Trump told reporters in response to a question, while suggesting tariffs under separate authorities would replace the ones overturned by the Supreme Court. “All the deals -- we’re just going to do it a different way.”

President Donald Trump today said the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down his sweeping tariffs was “deeply disappointing” and that he was “absolutely ashamed” by the justices who ruled against him in the 6-3 decision.
-Reuters
Trump relied on the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, as justification for a historic barrage of tariffs, even though that law contains no mention of tariffs.
IEEPA, which allows the president to seize assets and block transactions during a national emergency, was first used during the Iran hostage crisis. It has since been invoked for a range of global unrest, from the 9/11 attacks to the Syrian civil war.

Indian exporters have welcomed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, saying the move is a big relief to domestic firms affected by the country-specific duties.
Think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that following this ruling, the U.S. should remove the 25% reciprocal tariffs on India, then about 55% of India’s exports to the U.S. would be subject to only the existing customs duties.
The ruling restores greater predictability in bilateral trade between the two countries, Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President SC Ralhan said.
“The recent ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the reciprocal tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act brings welcome relief to Indian exporters affected by country-specific duties,” he said.

Swiss industry association Swissmem on Friday (February 20, 2026) urged Switzerland to finalize a preliminary trade deal with Washington in order to create legal certainty, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Switzerland was subject to the highest U.S. tariffs in Europe when Trump imposed a 39% import duty on its exporters’ products in August. In November, Bern secured an initial deal that cut the tariffs to 15%, mirroring the rate for the European Union.
Switzerland has since begun talks to formalise that agreement, which Washington has been pressing to conclude by the end of the first quarter.
Swissmem said the government would be well advised to turn that preliminary accord into a legally binding deal.

As the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, Justice Brett Kavanaugh referred to the tariffs imposed on India for Russian oil purchases in his dissenting opinion.
Mr. Trump had imposed 25% reciprocal tariffs on India and an additional 25% punitive tariff for Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil.
In a 6-3 vote on Friday, the judges found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorise the imposition of duties.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Kavanaugh dissented in the court’s decision.
“As with tariffs on foreign imports historically, the IEEPA tariffs on foreign imports at issue in this case implicate foreign affairs. According to the Government, the President has leveraged the IEEPA tariffs into trade deals with major trading partners, including China, the United Kingdom, and Japan, among other countries.”
“….To that end, on August 6, 2025, the President imposed tariffs on India for “directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil”... And on February 6, 2026, the President reduced the tariffs on India because, according to the Government, India had “committed to stop directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil,” he wrote.

Wall Street stocks bounced on Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down some of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs in a decision expected to mitigate inflation.
Stocks had opened lower following disappointing US economic data. But equities moved decisively higher after the Supreme Court ruled six-to-three that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.”
Near 1610 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.3% at 49,521.49.
The broad-based S&P 500 gained 0.6% to 6,901.67, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 1.0% to 22,914.91.

“We take note of the ruling... and are analysing it carefully,” EU trade spokesman Olof Gill said.
“We remain in close contact with the US administration as we seek clarity on the steps they intend to take in response to this ruling,” he added.
“Businesses on both sides of the Atlantic depend on stability and predictability in the trading relationship.”

Friday’s decision upends a core set of tariffs that Mr. Trump imposed using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. That includes the “Liberation Day” tariffs the President slapped on nearly every country in the world last spring — as well as and other IEEPA-based levies he imposed on Canada, Mexico and China. Trump also cited IEEPA to impose additional tariffs on Brazil over the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, and on India over its purchases of Russian oil.
Despite Friday’s ruling, other sweeping levies remain in place. Mr. Trump used another law — Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act — to slap impose sectoral tariffs on steel and aluminum, cars, copper, lumber and products like kitchen cabinets worldwide. And the President has plenty of other options to keep taxing imports aggressively.

The Congress on Friday (February 20, 2026) hailed the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs and said the American system of checks and balances still seems to be working.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications, Jairam Ramesh, said, “Hats off to the U.S. Supreme Court for striking down President Trump’s entire tariff strategy! Quite an amazing decision given its ideological composition.
President Donald Trump still has options to keep taxing imports aggressively even after the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs he imposed last year on nearly every country on earth.
The Justices didn’t buy the President’s sweeping claims of authority to impose tariffs as he sees fit. But Mr. Trump can re-use tariff powers he deployed in his first term and can reach for others, including one that dates back to the Great Depression.
“It’s hard to see any pathway here where tariffs end,” said Georgetown trade law professor Kathleen Claussen. “I am pretty convinced he could rebuild the tariff landscape he has now using other authorities.”

In Mexico, which has been vigorously negotiating on tariffs with the administration, President Claudia Sheinbaum noted the ruling in her morning press briefing, saying “We’re going to wait and see its reach.”
Mexico, whose biggest trading partner is the U.S., has been able to dodge the brunt of the tariffs by more aggressively going after drug cartels under pressure from the Trump administration. The country recently stopped sending oil to its ally Cuba around the same time Mr. Trump threatened to impose tariffs on countries who sent gas to the island.

Germany’s VDMA engineering association said it feared a 15% U.S. tariff on EU imports could be reintroduced soon, warning that uncertainty for companies remained despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.
The association said that while the court’s judgment was important, Mr. Trump had several legal alternatives for imposing such duties.
The reaction came after the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, struck down Mr. Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose the tariffs, ruling that he had exceeded his authority.

Some of the top Democratic lawmakers in the House are celebrating the Supreme Court’s decision striking down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs.
Rep. Richard Neal, the ranking Democratic lawmaker on the House Ways and Means Committee, calls the decision “a victory for the American people, the rule of law, and our standing in the global economy.”
Mr. Neal says the tariffs drove up grocery and energy prices and destabilized small businesses. He also says the administration must make consumers and businesses whole.
Rep. Brendan Boyle, the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said the tariffs weakened the economy and made it harder for families to make ends meet.
“Today’s decision is an important step toward protecting families and restoring basic economic fairness,” Mr. Boyle said.

U.S. stocks are edging higher in tentative trading after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which had been a source of volatility for the market.
The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher a few minutes after the court announced its ruling. It had been drifting between small gains and losses earlier in the morning, after discouraging reports showing slowing growth for the economy and faster inflation created relatively few ripples in the market.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 20 points, or less than 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1%. Treasury yields also remained fairly muted in the bond market.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down on Friday (February 20, 2026) President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs that he pursued under a law meant for use in national emergencies, rejecting one of his most contentious assertions of his authority in a ruling with major implications for the global economy.
The justices, in a 6-3 ruling, upheld a lower court’s decision that the Republican president’s use of this 1977 law exceeded his authority. The Supreme Court reached its conclusion in a legal challenge by businesses affected by the tariffs and 12 U.S. states, most of them Democratic-governed, against Mr. Trump’s unprecedented use of this law to unilaterally impose the import taxes.
