The Australia India Institute invites you to a webinar on ‘Tariffs and Tensions: Assessing India’s ‘America’ Dilemma’ on Wednesday 10 September at 5:30pm AEST / 1pm IST.
A burgeoning India-US relationship has, suddenly, run off course as the US President doubled its tariffs to a punitive 50 percent on Indian goods exports and the reported cancellation of his visit to New Delhi for the Quad summit later this month. Trump’s aggressive tariff regime threatens to stall India’s economic growth. India’s dilemma, now, is dire and dual – as it seeks to protect its economic and strategic autonomy under increasing pressure from its key trading partner.
Join us as leading experts unpack the drivers behind Washington’s tariff decision and assess not only how these developments could fundamentally reshape the US-India partnership, but also possible fallouts for the broader Indo-Pacific region, including Australia, a key ally to US and a strong partner for India.
Meet the panel:
- The Hon. Lisa Singh, CEO of the Australia India Institute (moderator).
- Mr John McCarthy AO, Former Australian Ambassador to the United States of America and High Commissioner to India.
- Dr Teesta Prakash, Research Fellow at the Australia India Institute.
- Dr Michael J. Green, CEO at the United States Studies Centre.
- Ms Suhasini Haidar, Diplomatic Affairs Editor of The Hindu.
