'Presidents Are Powerful But...': Indian-Origin Lawyer On Trump's Tariff Blow

In a pivotal ruling, the US Supreme Court has invalidated former President Donald Trump's extensive global tariffs, a decision significantly influenced by Indian-origin lawyer, Arjun Singh. Singh, representing a coalition of businesses, successfully argued that the tariffs imposed were unconstitutional, disrupting established trade practices. The ruling underscores the balance of power between the executive branch and legislative authority in shaping trade policy. This landmark verdict not only affects international trade relations but also highlights the role of legal experts in holding government actions accountable. As the debate over tariffs continues, Singh's contributions represent a crucial chapter in the ongoing dialogue about fair trade practices and the limits of presidential power in the United States. The case serves as a reminder of the complexities within trade law and the importance of judicial oversight in safeguarding against potential overreach by the executive branch.
