And, you're absolutely right that tariffs need to be dropped for our own sakes, not Trump's! Trump doesn't even want zero tariffs....he wants zero trade deficits with all countries! A hare-brained idea that is an impossibility for most developing nations. Besides, any deal one cuts with Trump is not worth the paper it's written on. He'll renege on it in an instant. Like he has just done with NAFTA 2.0 - "the best deal ever" - that he 'trumpeted' as a great achievement in his first term.
Very interesting view !! Gosh got to think this through
India can move into closer partnership with ASEAN and Africa by using the US tariff barrier to their advantage. Every crisis presents an opportunity.
By reducing Indian barriers, Indian trade with these regions will skyrocket giving decades of strategic advantage.
Well stated Mohit
Thanks, Alan.
It's interesting how people of our generation and older resonate so strongly with the perils of trade barriers.
Brilliant!
Hear, hear!!
