Updates on the Tariff wars-

While Trump announced 26% tariff on India, the annex 1 of the White House order says 27%. So official tariffs are 27%

Exemptions for key sectors like pharmaceuticals (India supplies 40% of U.S.’s generic medicine), semiconductors (India is building on this sector), & critical minerals and copper reduce the overall exposure to Trump Tariffs on India. #Trade #Economy #Geopolitics

When a small nation achieves a trade surplus with the US exceeding $100 billion—a surplus that has nearly tripled in the years following the trade war—it becomes fairly evident that its much-touted 'export competitiveness' is largely a function of the People's Republic of China (PRC) rebranding a significant amount of domestically produced goods, adding little to no value, and rerouting them to the US via Vietnam. #InternationalNews #Geopolitics #Economy
