U.S. President Donald Trump has once again shaken up global trade dynamics by formally announcing a series of reciprocal tariffs.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has wasted no time in hailing the supposed change of heart by some Hurriyat groups as a major victory for the Modi government’s Kashmir policy.
