Who Benefited

If enacted, the resolution would chiefly benefit American consumers, importers, and Indian exporters by removing layered duties, lowering import costs, restoring market access, and strengthening bilateral commercial ties that support investment and jobs.

Who Impacted

If tariffs remain, US importers, Indian exporters, and consumers would face higher costs and market disruptions, while congressional authority over trade would remain challenged by executive emergency tariff use.
