Blog: Implications of the US-China trade dispute

U.S. President Donald Trump has unleashed a wave of tariffs over the past year against many of its largest trading partners including China, Canada, the European Union, and Mexico. India too has been affected, particularly by tariffs on steel and aluminium.

Brookings India hosted an expert roundtable featuring Jaimini Bhagwati, RBI Chair Professor at Indian Council for Research in International Economic Research (ICRIER) and former Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. The discussion was chaired by Shivshankar Menon, Distinguished Fellow at Brookings and India’s former National Security Advisor and Foreign Secretary.

The discussion was under the Chatham House Rule
