European Union has a «strong plan» to retaliate against tariffs imposed, and set to be imposed, by U.S. President Donald Trump, although it would prefer to negotiate a solution, EU executive chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday. The Trump administration put in place tariffs on imported steel and aluminium in March and higher duties on cars will take effect on Thursday. Trump will also set out plans for «reciprocal tariffs» on Wednesday. Von der Leyen said she understood U.S. arguments that others had taken advantage of global trade rules, adding the EU had suffered too. She also said she understood the U.S. wanted to re-industrialise, as does the EU. However, she said U.S. tariffs were taxes on its consumers that would fuel inflation and make American factories pay more for components, costing jobs. «Our objective is a negotiated solution. But of course, if need be, we will protect our interests, our people, and our companies,» von der Leyen said in a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

wellness War show country consequences rights Govt should immediately start decadal census, caste census: Kharge in RS

Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday asked the government to immediately start the decadal census as well as caste census, saying a large number of people are being left out of welfare schemes due to the delay. Expressing concern over the delay in conducting the decadal census during the Zero Hour in the House, the senior Congress leader said India has been conducting a census every 10 years since 1881. It was conducted even during wars, emergencies, or other crises. He recalled that back in 1931, a caste census was conducted along with the regular census. Right before the 1931 census, Mahatma Gandhi had said that just like 'we need periodic medical checkups to assess our health, a census is the most important checkup for a nation', Kharge stated. He said the census is a crucial exercise and involves a large number of people who collect data not just on population but also on employment, family structures, socio-economic conditions, and several other key aspects.
