Donald Trump's administration to secure the partial removal of the US tariffs that have already started hitting the bloc's exports and that are set to increase after April 2. European Union officials were told at meetings this week in Washington that there was no way to avoid new auto and so-called reciprocal tariffs that Trump is launching next week, according to people familiar with the talks. Discussions also began on what the contours of a potential deal to reduce them should eventually look like. That has prompted the European Commission, which handles trade matters for the EU, to start working on a «term sheet» for a potential agreement, which would set out areas for negotiations on the punitive trade measures, including lowering its own duties, mutual investments with the US as well as easing certain regulations and standards, said the people. VAT considered fair The reciprocal tariffs are meant to strike out against what Trump considers to be unfair levies on US goods as well as non-tariff barriers, like domestic regulations and how countries collect taxes, including the bloc's value-added tax, digital taxes and regulations. The EU says its VAT is a fair, non-discriminatory tax that applies equally to domestic and imported goods. A spokesperson from the commission declined to comment.

United States President Donald Trump’s tariffs have sparked fears of a recession in Canada, but this country’s largest bank is confident it can overcome any near-term hurdles and continue to post healthy growth during the next few years.

Sandeep Kumar Gupta, CMD, GAIL (India), says the Rs 20 increase in tariff which they have filed will translate to Rs 3,400 crore per annum and they are very hopeful that at least two elements out of this, – Rs 1,200 crore for true up-of-the-system use gas cost and about Rs 800 crore due to the APM price deallocation and the capacity determination totalling Rs 2,000 crore – is certain. We expect that this development should be there in the next month itself. How do you see the proposed tariff changes by PNGRB and how does GAIL benefit from this? Sandeep Kumar Gupta: The public consultation document which has been floated by PNGRB proposing certain changes in the regulation covers two-three main changes. First, there will be only two zones instead of the three zonal tariffs presently available and the silver lining is that for all CGDs, for their domestic PNG and CNG volumes, only zone one tariff will be applicable. This will be a big positive for GAIL which is present in 72 geographical areas out of the total 307 geographical areas.

Rayudu said the fans' support is first for Dhoni and then for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and probably in future it may hurt the team's branding which has always revolved around one man. «It is quite daunting if you're a newcomer. It's quite loud. The support is phenomenal. But, as you go on and play, then you realise they are MS Dhoni fans before they are CSK fans,» Rayudu told ESPNcricinfo. «It is quite evident, and rightly so, because that's the way the team has been set up and built over the years. He's rightly named Thala (leader) and he has been calling the shots in CSK, and it's come to a stage where people are madly in awe and in love of what he's done for CSK.» The 43-year-old Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020, began batting lower down the order in the IPL and also quit captaincy last year to facilitate a smooth transition.
