What happens when economic friction between two global partners sparks deeper strategic questions? In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury sits down with global trade expert Agneshwar sen to unpack the recent U.S. tariff imposition on India and its far-reaching implications. From the unexpected 25% tariff to the intricate triangle of the U.S.-India-Russia ties, the conversation navigates the fine line between trade penalties and geopolitical signaling. Is Washington's move a matter of policy consistency or a sign of deeper mistrust? Agneshwar Sen explores India's path forward through diversification, smarter trade alignments, and the urgent need for a robust bilateral trade pact. As August 7 looms, the episode offers a nuanced look at how India can weather economic turbulence while safeguarding strategic autonomy.
