Three Democratic members of the **US House of Representatives — Deborah Ross, Marc Veasey, and Raja Krishnamoorthi — introduced a resolution to end President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian imports, calling them “illegal” and economically harmful. The measure targets the national emergency declaration used to justify the tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which raised duties on many Indian-origin products to 50% after initial and “secondary” duties. Lawmakers argue the tariffs hurt American workers and consumers, disrupt supply chains, and damage US–India economic and strategic ties, urging reversal to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
