I am relieved to see this climbdown from the Trump administration, removing the 25% additional tariff on India imposed due to the latter's imports of Russian oil. But damage is still being done to US credibility and the US-India relationship. 1/2 www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/t...

📢 Call for papers. With over 40 regimes currently in force, the EU has solidified its role as a global leader in restrictive measures. But as the scope of these sanctions grows, so do the legal and institutional complexities. We invite abstract submissions for our CLEER conference. lnkd.in/gVfhbigv
