Congress calls US trade deal an 'ordeal', Rahul says PM 'compromised'

After the US 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-US 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," Gandhi said in a post on X. This comes a day after the US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's global tariffs. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh 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 from the agony and distress, and Indian sovereignty would have been protected. "Yesterday after the US Supreme Court struck down his tariffs policy,

Murky outlook for business amid Trump's new moves against SC tariff verdict

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 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 US 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, Trump pledged to use a different law to impose a 10 per cent 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. "Any boost to the economy from lowering tariffs in the near-term is likely to be partly offset by a prolonged period of uncertainty," said Michael Pearce, an economist at Oxford Economics. "Wit

India faces reduced 10% US tariff after Trump announces new global levy

India now faces a lower tariff rate of 10 per cent, down from 18 per cent, after US President Donald Trump announced a new global levy on items imported into America in the wake of the Supreme Court verdict against his sweeping tariffs. In a proclamation titled 'Imposing a Temporary Import Surcharge to Address Fundamental International Payments Problems', Trump said he is imposing, for a period of 150 days, a "temporary import surcharge of 10 per cent ad valorem" on articles imported into the United States, effective February 24. Given this new tariff rate of 10 per cent, which will be applicable on countries around the world, Indian goods being imported into the US would no longer be subject to the 18 per cent tariff rate that had been decided on following the announcement of a framework for an Interim Agreement on trade between India and the US. In a major setback to Trump's pivotal economic agenda in his second term, the US Supreme Court, in a 6-3 verdict written by Chief Justice
