Interim trade deal under Review

India agreed to reduce tariffs on US agricultural and industrial products in exchange for lowering US duties. Many details were unclear.Analysts and farmers still want to know the full terms of the agreement.

Supreme Court Ruling Complicates Plans

Recently, the US Supreme Court ruled that former President George W. Bush exceeded his powers under 1977’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act by imposing tariffs on global products. Trump then announced that he would impose a global 15% tariff. This is the maximum permitted under a trade law which has been underused. Both countries have paused negotiations due to these developments.The Indian delegation has not set a new date for its visit to Washington.

Market reactions and concerns

Farmers have voiced concerns about the potential harm that tariff reductions on US agricultural products could cause to domestic producers.

Officials suggest that despite these obstacles, the agreement could come into force by April.

Next Article US Supreme Court blocks Trump Tariffs; Asia faces new trade uncertainty The US Supreme Court has struck down many tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump in 2025. This ruling disrupts months of talks between Washington, key Asian allies and has added a layer of uncertainty in regional trade. Trump soon announced his plans to introduce new tariffs on imported goods of 15%. US Customs confirmed that they will stop collecting the duties related to earlier tariff measures. The sudden change in policy has forced Asian governments to rethink and review their current positions. Trade Deals Under Pressure In order to reduce tensions in the trade, several countries including India and Indonesia had been talking with Washington for months. Some countries pledged to invest billions in the US in order to get better terms. Now, the court's ruling casts doubts on those agreements. Analysts warn of high uncertainty despite the fact that 15 percent is a lower rate than previous rates. Adam Samdin, from Oxford Economics, said that the US government still wants to keep higher tariffs despite legal setbacks. He pointed out that recent trade deals lack the legal protections found in more traditional trade agreements. This leaves the door open for policy to be changed suddenly. Asian smaller economies might be cautious. The economic prospects of smaller Asian economies could be heavily dependent on Washington. Many governments will avoid confrontation and instead quietly explore alternatives. China reviews impact ahead of key meeting China also reviews the consequences of the decision. Beijing has confirmed that it will assess the potential impacts and the full content of this decision. The officials reiterated that they oppose unilateral tariff increases and warned against trade wars. This development occurs as China is preparing to host Trump at the beginning of April. Despite this legal setback US Trade Representative Jamieson Grer stated that he did not anticipate the ruling to have an impact on talks with Chinese president Xi Jinping. Greer said that the main focus will be to maintain stability, and ensure China keeps its existing commitments. This includes purchasing American agricultural products, and Boeing aircraft. What this Means to Asia Trade tensions have not been eliminated by the Supreme Court's decision, which changed Trump's legal basis for his tariff policy. The Asian countries must decide whether they want to negotiate new terms or wait for more clarity. They can also choose to strengthen their ties with trading partners. Markets may be volatile in the short-term as companies seek to understand future tariff structures. The ruling may have a long-term impact on how the United States negotiates and enforces trade agreements. US Supreme Court blocks Trump Tariffs; Asia faces new trade uncertainty

What Ultra Processed foods do to gut microbiome health? Today, ultra-processed foods have become a part of our daily lives. These products, from packaged meals to ice-cream and bread in a package, stay fresh longer. However, research suggests that they could be harming the gut microbiome. In the human body, trillions of bacteria live. The gut microbiome is a system that supports digestion, immune function, metabolism and brain functions. It is often compared to a forest by experts. It becomes stronger and more stable the more it is diverse. Health problems can increase when gut bacteria become less diverse. Low microbial biodiversity is linked to inflammation, digestion problems, sleep disorders, and an increased risk of chronic diseases. A higher diversity is associated with improved health, and may even extend life. The addition of additives to ultra-processed foods raises concerns Foods that are ultra-processed often include emulsifiers and artificial sweeteners. They may also contain preservatives or food colours. These ingredients are added by manufacturers to enhance taste, texture and shelf-life. Emulsifiers help water and oil mix, for instance. These ingredients keep cakes, bread, and ice cream moist, even after weeks. They are found in thousands of products at supermarkets. Scientists are now questioning their effect over time on the gut bacteria, even though food safety agencies have approved them as safe for chemical and toxicity. Some additives, according to researchers, may disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut. Studies show that emulsifiers can weaken mucus layers which separate bacteria and the intestinal wall. Researchers link Emulsifiers with Inflammation and Disease Early warning signals can be derived from animal studies. Researchers gave mice small quantities of emulsifiers in controlled experiments. These additives moved gut bacteria towards the intestinal wall. The change in the environment triggered an inflammation. Mice already prone to digestive disorders developed more severe symptoms. Mucus in the gut serves as a protective layer. Chronic inflammation may result when bacteria penetrate this mucus layer. Chronic inflammation can increase the risk for inflammatory bowel diseases and metabolic disorders.

Patients say that dopamine antagonist drugs are linked to gambling and other addictions. Patients in the UK report that medication prescribed to treat movement disorders led them into serious addictions such as gambling, sexual behavior, or compulsive buying. They claim that their doctors did not warn them of these dangers. Over 250 other people have told similar tales. These include police officers, nurses and doctors as well as a director of risk at a bank. The majority of them say that they did not have a history of addiction before beginning treatment. The Story of One Woman Who Lost PS30,000 Emma developed Restless Legs Syndrome during pregnancy. Ropinirole is a GSK dopamine-agonist that was prescribed by doctors. She began spending money and gambling excessively within months. The urges were uncontrollable, she says. She says, "It felt like I was being controlled by something." She lost more than PS30,000 in a single year. Her husband only found out about the link when he looked up her medications online. She claims that when she went to her GP with her gambling problem and medication usage, the doctor didn't make the connection. Emma asked later to alter her prescription. The financial damage was already done. She claims that it will take many years for her to pay off the debt. What are dopamine antagonists? These drugs are used to treat Parkinson's and Restless Legs Syndrome. These drugs stimulate dopamine production in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps to control the movement of the body, as well as driving motivation and rewards. Some people become impulsive when dopamine levels increase too high. One in six Parkinson's sufferers who take these drugs have some sort of impulsive disorder. This side effect is very common. Many patients claim that the leaflets don't clearly describe how serious or specific this behavior can get. Some warning leaflets refer to impulse control issues in general but don't describe extreme gambling or pornography as addictions. Life, marriages and careers are affected Patients report devastating consequences. Patients report devastating consequences. Others began to invest recklessly. Some people began to make reckless investments. After starting this medication, several older women claim that their husbands began to be sexually aggressive. Families often did not know that the medication was responsible for the personality shifts. One reported incident involved a father who stole PS600,000.00 from his clients in order to pay for antiques and sex. Financial and emotional consequences led to a tragedy in the family. Increased pressure on regulators The prescription rate in England has not decreased, despite the fact that dopamine-agonists no longer represent a first-choice treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome. The UK Drug Regulator has been asked by lawmakers to examine whether the current warnings are too harsh. The patients want more clarity. Early information, say many, could have helped them save their relationships, finances and mental health.
