Dear Reader,

The recent imposition of steep US tariffs on Indian exports has unsettled trade ties and raised pressing questions for India’s foreign policy. At Scroll, we’ve been closely following the diplomatic and economic fallout.

In one article, we examined why the coming years could prove challenging for India – unless Prime Minister Narendra Modi can find a way to rebuild ties with President Donald Trump.

Another piece explored how China is turning the tariffs to its advantage, using its central role in global supply chains to quietly strengthen its hand.

And as India reopens diplomatic channels with Beijing, we looked at why this renewed engagement must be approached with caution, given the weight of recent and historical tensions.
