On April 2, 2023, US President Donald Trump implemented significant tariffs, igniting global market turmoil and prompting fears of economic disruption akin to the Great Depression. While many countries expressed outrage, few retaliated, with China already imposing a 34% tariff on US imports, targeting agricultural sectors that support Trump. The European Union remains divided on retaliation, as political instability in key countries like Germany and France has led to a cautious approach. Meanwhile, India, facing a $200 billion trade relationship with the US, is negotiating a bilateral trade agreement to mitigate the impact of new tariffs. Despite the upheaval, opportunities for cooperation, particularly in technology, persist, as the US seeks to maintain its global economic leadership while countering China's rise. The evolving landscape underscores the need for strategic partnerships, with India's population and technological capabilities seen as vital in addressing the China challenge.

Apr 13 2025, 8 pmeznews.inThe Rajasthan government has approached the Supreme Court to defend its Waqf Amendment law, which has faced multiple challenges, including a petition from AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi. The law aims to regulate the management of Waqf properties, which the state claims are substantial, and seeks to prevent arbitrary inclusion of government and private land as Waqf property. Additional Advocate General Shiv Mangal Sharma emphasized the importance of allowing the state to present its case, as it holds a "direct, substantial, and legally protectable interest" in the matter. The amended law introduces a mandatory public notice and objection mechanism before land can be designated as Waqf property, addressing concerns that previous practices hindered public development projects. The legislation received unanimous support from the Joint Parliamentary Committee, which consulted over 284 stakeholders, and the state asserts it does not violate constitutional rights or equality principles as alleged in the petitions.
