Anit Mukherjee, Senior Fellow, ORF America was quoted in an article by Sumit Jangir of Diya TV on trade relations between the United States and India as Trump’s tariff escalations take into effect:
"Economic concerns featured prominently throughout the discussion. Dr. Anit Mukherjee of the Observer Research Foundation said Trump’s trade measures created a paradox. While tariffs raised revenue for the U.S., they also distorted labor markets and slowed investment. “There is definitely going to be an impact on the labor market,” he cautioned, adding that uncertainty could reduce capital inflows into India.”
