End Harmful Tariffs: Protect US Economy and International Cooperation
Related Article: Trump's tariffs destructive for US economy, foreign policy interests, says economist Jeffrey Sachs; lauds India's response - northernirelandnews.com - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 9:28:01 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: President of the United States, US Congress, and the Office of the US Trade Representative
Goal: We call on the US government to immediately suspend all punitive tariffs on Indian goods, restore respect for international law, and pursue fair, multilateral trade policies that benefit working people in both countries.
The Trump administration's decision to impose up to 50% tariffs on Indian goods is not only economically damaging but also legally questionable and diplomatically reckless. According to Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs, these tariffs violate international law, undermine US-India relations, and threaten the livelihoods of millions of working people in both countries.
Rather than fostering cooperation, these tariffs isolate the United States, damage our global standing, and embolden alternative alliances that challenge US leadership. The US Constitution grants Congress—not the President—the power to regulate trade, and current legal challenges may soon deem these tariffs unconstitutional.
We urge the US government to reverse these harmful policies, respect the rule of law, and prioritize multilateralism and fair trade. Our future depends on international cooperation, not economic isolationism and executive overreach.
Key Demands
- Immediately suspend all punitive tariffs imposed on Indian goods and other trade partners.
- Restore Congressional authority over trade policy, ensuring democratic oversight and adherence to the US Constitution.
- Commit to upholding international law and World Trade Organization (WTO) rules in all trade negotiations.
- Engage in good-faith, multilateral trade talks with India and other nations, prioritizing fair agreements that protect workers and the environment.
- Conduct a transparent, public review of the economic and social impacts of all recent tariffs.
