Rude lessons: On the U.S.-Canada trade dispute, lessons for India
Canada walked out of tariff talks with the U.S., and both sides now charge tariffs up to 50 percent. From September 29, America will ban some Canadian spirits, dairy goods and motorcycles. For Indian exporters, this shows even close partners get hit. Treat no U.S. concession as permanent, and check how any trade deal affects your pricing before signing.
Key Statutory Highlights
