Daybreak

In this episode, we talk about the global trade war that stopped before it started.

First, we talk about US President Donald Trump's decision to reverse the "reciprocal tariffs" on almost every country in the world, except one.

Next, we talk about why India had little choice but to offer concession after concession to the US.

Finally, we unpack the long term and short term impact of the tariffs on the Indian economy.
