Washington, DC: The Trump administration has threatened to escalate its tariffs dispute to the Supreme Court after a court ruling overturned many of the president\u2019s new import duties. The administration is demanding that the decision be suspended.<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karine Leavitt declared, \u201cWe will win this battle in court\u201d, in a press briefing and said the administration is working to \u201ctackle rogue judges.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked why other countries would continue trade negotiations amid the legal uncertainty, she said the U.S. trade ambassador had heard from countries that morning confirming their intention to continue working with the United States.<\/p>\n
During a Thursday briefing, Leavitt also informed reporters that U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba spoke by phone on Thursday, exchanging views on tariff-related issues.<\/p>\n
The press secretary added that members of the president\u2019s cabinet\u2013Secretary Lutnick, Secretary Bessent, and Ambassador Jamieson Greer\u2013have been in contact with their counterparts worldwide to signal that the United States remains committed to negotiations.<\/p>\n
\u201cCountries around the world have faith in the negotiator in chief, President Donald J. Trump. And they also probably see how ridiculous this ruling is, and they understand the administration is going to win,\u201d Leavitt said. \u201cAnd we intend to win. We already filed an emergency appeal, and we expect to fight this battle all the way to the Supreme Court,\u201d the press secretary asserted.<\/p>\n
White House lawyers petitioned the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Thursday to halt Wednesday\u2019s decision from taking effect. The move followed a second court ruling that found President Trump had exceeded his authority in implementing the tariffs.<\/p>\n
The rulings represent significant victories for small businesses and states that have mounted legal challenges to the measures, striking at policies central to Trump\u2019s economic and foreign policy agenda.<\/p>\n
Leavitt also criticised the court\u2019s tariff ruling as an example of \u201cjudicial overreach.\u201d She argued that Trump\u2019s tariffs were introduced to address U.S. trade deficits with other nations and described the taxes as \u201clegally sound\u201d and \u201clong overdue.\u201d
\npast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a US team is scheduled to visit India on June 5-6 for the next round of negotiations on a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) between the two countries.<\/p>\n
The India-US trade deal would mark a significant milestone in economic relations between the two big economies, potentially opening new avenues for bilateral commerce and investment.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Ray Vickery, Former United States Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Trade Development, said that the trade agreement between India and the US can\u2019t happen with Washington\u2019s \u201cbullying approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Trump, 1.0, there was a negotiation that came close to getting a freer trade, not a free trade arrangement between the United States and India. One hopes that that would happen, but it\u2019s not going to happen with this bullying approach, which the Trump administration has indicated,\u201d Ray Vickery told ANI.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump has made repeated claims that the US mediated the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan and offered them \u201ca lot of trade.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, India has emphasised that the two nations\u2019 militaries negotiated directly and resolved the conflict through an agreement and understanding for a cessation of fire and military action.<\/p>\n
The cessation of hostilities was agreed upon following a call from Pakistan\u2019s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) to his Indian counterpart, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, after India destroyed nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir under Operation Sindoor.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Vikrey said that the Trump administration has a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d regarding trade deficits, due to whichthe US is determined to impose tariffs on other countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Trump administration has a misunderstanding in regard to trade deficits. Trade deficits are not necessarily something imposed just by unfair trade practices by another country, but they have to do with the United States\u2019 own saving and spending habits, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
