Business Standard

A second unvaccinated child has died from measles in Texas, as the United States confronts its worst outbreak of the disease in more than 30 years. The school-aged child, with no underlying conditions, died from complications while hospitalised, according to the University Medical Center (UMC) Health System in Lubbock, a leading regional hospital and teaching institution. The death follows another fatal pediatric case in Texas in February and an adult death in neighbouring New Mexico in early March.

Basu further said that it is also not really a reciprocal tariff as the Trump administration calls it, it is based on the trade deficit the US has with India. "The new US tariff of 26 per cent on India is baffling. While it will have some adverse impact on India, its major negative impact will be on the US," he told PTI. Basu, currently a Carl Marks Professor at Cornell University, said it is natural for a country like the US, which has a currency that is trusted and used worldwide, to have trade deficits. "Hence, this new tariff policy looks almost like an effort to erode trust in the US dollar," he added. Basu also suggested that India should not respond by raising or lowering tariffs on US...
