            2018-06-12T10:00:07+00:00February 9th, 2017|2017/2018, December 2017, February 2017, India-US, The Americas, Year|

              Asian equations, specially between the two giant economies of China and India will be in focus with the installation of Donald Trump as the 45th US president. Trump’s belligerent ‘America First’ foreign and commercial policy stance, will in all likelihood, force China to curb its manufactured goods exports to the US, with whom it has a whopping and patently unsustainable trade surplus of nearly half a trillion dollars! It is unlikely that even US MNCs, which have huge export bases [...]
