Nonetheless, without any legal anchoring of the bilateral deals struck under the past punitive tariff policy regime, this opens up possibilities to renegotiate the mutual commitments. This had resulted in a 50% tariff rate on India's exports, with 25% punitive levies last August for the purchase of Russian oil. Seeking a sound legal foundation makes the direction of trade policy certain and predictable and, therefore, can be viewed as improving India’s bargaining abilities. There is, therefore, complete policy uncertainty on the direction of trade policy. Until the legal direction of US trade policy becomes clear, uncertainty about these will persist.

Crude words cannot dim the shine of their triumphs — but they do show what more needs to be done to rewrite an old sexist script. The US women’s hockey team dominated every match they played at the recent Winter Olympics in Italy, clinching the gold in a hard-fought final — only to be reduced to a sexist punchline by their President. The callousness of the framing —that the invitation to the women was a burden to be borne —underlines sports’ persisting gender problem. Trump’s words would perhaps have been easy to dismiss, if not for the raucous laughter from his listeners. The limits of merely speaking the language of equity and inclusion are evident to anyone paying attention, from the massive pay gaps and unequal investment in infrastructure and equipment to sexualised coverage of women athletes and the persistence of the “locker-room” culture.
