Trump’s big blast: 15% global tariff imposed on countries around the world, what will be the impact on India?

Washington. US President Donald Trump has once again created a stir in the global economy. Trump has now announced to increase the 10% ‘Global Tariff’ imposed on imports from all countries to 15%. The President has taken this tough decision immediately after the order of the US Supreme Court, in which questions were raised on his authority to impose tariffs. Trump has shared information about this increase through his social media platform ‘Truth Social’.

Trump lashed out at Supreme Court judges, calling them ‘anti-American’

This decision of Trump is believed to be a reaction to the decision of the Supreme Court, in which the court had said that the President has misused the ‘International Emergency Economic Powers Act’ (IEEPA). According to the Court, this Act is only for national emergency and not for imposing arbitrary tariffs. Enraged by this, Trump even called the judges “pet dogs” and termed their decision as “absurd and anti-American”. Trump made it clear that he was “deeply embarrassed” by these judges, who he said were not loyal to the Constitution.

Taking an aggressive stance in his post, Trump wrote, “Many countries around the world have been looting America for decades without any retribution. After a detailed review of the Supreme Court’s poorly written decision, I am increasing the 10% worldwide tariff to 15%, effective immediately.” Trump has also warned that his administration will issue a long list of new and legally approved tariffs in the coming months, which will further accelerate the mission of ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA).

This step of America has increased the concern of exporters around the world including India. India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry has issued an official statement on this matter saying that they are closely studying the situation arising after the decision of the US Supreme Court and President Trump’s press conference. According to the ministry, what impact these new tariffs will have on Indian exports and bilateral trade is being assessed.

IEEPA and tariff legal battle

Let us tell you that in April 2025, Trump had imposed heavy tariffs by implementing IEEPA. Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision had challenged Trump’s rights, after which Trump first increased it to 10% on Friday and now to 15%. Experts believe that this conflict between the Trump administration and the judiciary can create huge instability in the global market in the coming days.
