A group of 25 Democratic-ruled states has moved a US court against President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on 60 economies accounting for 99.4 per cent of American imports. Last month, the US imposed a fresh round of tariffs ranging between 10 per cent and 12.5 per cent on these 60 countries, citing failure on the issue of forced labour, to replace the 10 per cent global levies that expired on July 24. The 25 states moved the US Court of International Trade on Monday against the Trump administration for again implementing tariffs on several countries, contending that it will raise costs for consumers and businesses nationwide. New York Attorney General Letitia James, Governor Kathy Hochul and the coalition of the Democratic states are asking the Court of International Trade to declare these tariffs illegal. "After losing at the Supreme Court, the administration is once again trying to illegally raise taxes on families and businesses with a new round of tariffs," James s

The bill will now be taken up by the House of Representatives for deliberation. "On energy security, our position has been clarified and very well articulated on several occasions.

India's pharmaceutical industry should treat the proposed US tariffs on imported generic medicines as a wake-up call to reduce dependence on a single export market, diversify globally and accelerate innovation while ensuring uninterrupted access to affordable medicines, industry leaders and healthcare experts said. US President Donald Trump has announced a phased tariff framework under which imported generic medicines will continue to attract zero tariffs until August 1, 2028, before facing a 100 per cent tariff for one year and a 200 per cent tariff from August 1, 2029. The proposal, aimed at encouraging drug manufacturing in the US, has triggered a debate within India's pharmaceutical sector over its long-term implications. Nikhil K Masurkar, CEO, ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, described the proposed tariffs as an opportunity for long-term strategic transformation, rather than merely a trade challenge. "The finer details of the proposed US tariffs on generic drugs are still unclear, but

The United States has imposed a 10 per cent tariff on goods imported from India and 16 other countries as part of its efforts to combat the use of forced labour in the production of such items. The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has stated that "while the additional 10 per cent Section 301 tariff imposed by the United States on imports from India will increase the landed cost of Indian products, the overall impact should be viewed in the proper competitive perspective rather than through the headline tariff alone". S C Ralhan, President, FIEO, said the fact that India has been placed in the lower 10 per cent tariff category, while several competing exporting nations including China, ...
