Trump's Latest Grumble: Keep Calm and Carry On
Mint Mumbai

His new tariff threat aimed at countries seen to defy US Big Tech interests must not disturb India's digital legislative agenda. It's our call. The same goes for a revival of the 'Google tax'
-
The Donald Trump administration has notified its extra 25% tariff on merchandise imports from India, set to take effect from 27 August. True to form, the US President also warned of fresh barriers against countries whose taxes, legislation and regulations are seen to target US Big Tech companies.
With a wide range of Indian goods facing a 50% levy now, it scarcely matters if this hurdle gets pushed further up. It's bad enough that Trump's 'reciprocal' levy of 25% on our shipments was higher than the 15-20% he levied on those of rival exporters. This gap could plausibly have been offset by efficiency gains in production and logistics, plus speedier customs clearances. But the additional punitive layer of 25%, meant to punish India for buying Russian oil, puts the US market out of reach for Indian producers in several categories. Unfortunately, this might not be the end of it. How we should respond has stirred a lively debate around our national interest as a rallying point.

Investors expect AI use to soar. That's not happening
An uncertain outlook for interest rates. Businesses may be holding off on investment until the fog clears. In addition, history suggests that technology tends to spread in fits and starts. Consider use of the computer within American households, where the speed of adoption slowed in the late 1980s. This was a mere blip before the 1990s, when they invaded American homes.
