China on Monday said it is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the US Supreme Court's ruling against global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump under an emergency powers law. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said it has noted the Supreme Court's decision declaring illegal the US government's imposition of tariffs on trading partners under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and is evaluating its relevant content and implications. Beijing's reaction came ahead of Trump's planned visit to China from March 31 to April 2 for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. On Sunday, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he did not expect the ruling to impact Washington's talks with China. "The purpose of this meeting with President Xi is not to fight about trade. It's to maintain stability, make sure that the Chinese are holding up their end of our deal and buying American agricultural products and Boeings and other things," Greer told ABC ..
The reduction of the US reciprocal tariff on India from 25 per cent to 10 per cent will significantly improve competitiveness of domestic labour-intensive sectors in the US such as pharma, electronics, engineering, textiles, and gems and jewellery. In a major setback to US President Donald Trump's pivotal economic agenda for his second term, the US Supreme Court, in a 6-3 verdict written by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that the tariffs imposed by the president on nations around the world were illegal and that he had exceeded his authority when he imposed the sweeping levies. Later, through a proclamation, the US announced a temporary import surcharge of 10 per cent ad valorem on articles imported into the US for 150 days from February 24. These sectors at present were facing a reciprocal tariff of 25 per cent in the US market.

The implementation of the plans will be monitored by a Joint Agriculture Productivity Council (JAPC). According to the pact, the move is aimed at balancing market access with protection of sensitive domestic agricultural sectors. New Zealand has agreed on focused action plans for kiwifruit, apples, and honey to improve productivity, quality, and sectoral capabilities in India. The cooperation includes the establishment of centres of excellence, improved planting material, capacity building for growers, technical support for orchard management, post-harvest practices, supply chains, and food safety.
