The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to uphold tariffs on India, saying they are vital for Ukraine peace. India faces a 50% duty on exports to the US after refusing to cut Russian oil trade. Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that removing tariffs would risk economic disaster and weaken America’s defense base. A lower court had ruled the tariffs unlawful. Trump’s team argues the 1977 law allows such emergency powers. Officials claim the tariffs protect US trade and push countries into new deals. India’s trade talks with Washington remain stalled.
