India should support affected exporters

In a world where the biggest power has abandoned the well-accepted playbook, projecting future outcomes, even directionally, has become extremely difficult.

America has imposed a prohibitive tariff of 50 per cent on imports from India, which will likely have a significant impact on the Indian economy, and the broader implications can go much beyond trade relations. However, recent statements by United States (US) President Donald Trump suggest that all may not be lost. In a statement this week, for instance, Mr Trump announced that India and the US were continuing negotiations and that he was looking forward to speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the coming weeks.
