In this episode, author and journalist Puja Mehra speaks to trade policy expert Prof. Abhijit Das about the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that was signed on 24th July 2025 after years of negotiation. Hailed as a major breakthrough, the agreement promises tariff-free access for Indian exports like textiles, leather, and marine products, along with visa commitments for service professionals. But what lies beneath the surface?Prof. Das explains why, despite the initial excitement, the fine print raises concerns—ranging from stringent UK standards in agriculture and environment to new subsidy notification obligations and a surprising shift in India's position on compulsory licensing for medicines. He unpacks what India has agreed to in areas like Intellectual Property Rights, labour, and gender, and whether these concessions could come at the cost of future policy flexibility.Tune in for insights and analysis of what this FTA really means for India's exporters, its negotiating strategy, and its ability to shape trade policy in the years ahead.For more of our coverage check out ⁠⁠thecore.in⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube

Recent events have made it increasingly clear that India is utterly alone. I call this the Abhimanyu Syndrome, in honor of the teenaged Abhimanyu, who only knew how to enter the impregnable Chakravyuha, and who was then murdered, alone, against all Dharmic principles, by several powerful Maharathis.India's possible rise as an economic and military power is being resisted tooth and nail by the incumbent major powers. This is natural: all 'insurgent' powers face this problem. India's rise will need some paradigm shifts, which may or may not happen.China's rise was helped by two things: an industrial policy and inadvertent help by the US's managers and Wall Street who were seduced by the short-term appeal of the lower-cost 'China price'.The ruthless industrial policy is a result of China's civil services being full of engineers who understand the near term. In the long run, it may or may not succeed because of second-order effects such as population implosion, environmental ruin and skewed investment decisions.The US is now facing decline (and the EU has already begun a steep decline) for a variety of reasons, including natural cycles and the loss of comparative advantage in weaponry.In this context, I wish I knew what paradigm shift, if any, will propel India to a G3 slot, but the general global churn, new technologies, etc might create an opportunity. In the meantime, India has to struggle alone, against a mass of hostile powers.I read an article in a Sri Lankan newspaper that painted India as a tyrant, but China as a benevolent friend dispensing largesse. Yes, the same China that has grabbed Hambantota! And it called for a new SAARC, one minus India. This is the kind of propaganda that China and Pakistan are rolling out in the Indian subcontinent.China has every reason to want to kneecap India, the only Asian power that can (and hopefully will) challenge its hegemonistic pretensions. Even the US doesn't: Obama anointed China as the guardian/manager, if not owner, of 'South Asia'. Spheres of influence, you see.The US, in general, has been a disappointment. Many Indians expected, after Biden's antics with Yunus in Bangladesh, that Trump would be more in tune with Indian interests, partly because the US and India both need to keep China in check, and Trump wants to move more manufacturing out of China.But that has clearly not happened. Instead, India has been in Trump's gunsights over trade (although India's surplus is small, and agricultural items that the US wants to sell are a serious no-no for India). Their embrace of Pakistan during and after Operation Sindoor has been inexplicable unless Trump has adopted pure Deepstate policy.India cannot be a Chinese vassal (although it is in BRICS) and it doesn't want to be an American vassal though it's in the Quad (its ties with Russia and strategic autonomy are too important). Thus India is squeezed; for instance, the recent threat by some NATO muckity-muck to impose Russia-related sanctions was sinister.This could be both good and bad. Let's face it, nobody likes a rising power (see Thucydides Trap). While the Sri Lankan paper glorifies China, let us remember that China has territorial disputes with literally every one of its neighbors, and most of ASEAN is deathly scared of them. That comes from hard power. If SAARC or G20 or somebody is worried about India, that is a good sign that home-grown military power is noticeable.Everyone complains that India is not loyal to them. BRICS boosters grumble that India is a Western ‘mole' that is preventing them from toppling the dollar and making the US irrelevant. Conversely, the Anglosphere complains that India is not sufficiently committed to them, as in not toeing their Ukraine line. This is as it should be: multi-alignment means India is not beholden to anybody, but will pursue its selfish interests first and foremost.This is qualitatively different from the late lamented ‘non-alignment' of Nehruvian days, which meant everybody disliked India for its moral posturing. Multi-alignment means India will engage with everybody, on its own terms. With the US, for technology and trade. With Russia, for weapons and oil. Even with China, despite China being India's staunchest enemy, for electronic components. And even with perfidious Britain, as in the just-concluded FTA, which I personally consider pointless.Thus the splendid isolation is a back-handed compliment: the rest of the world is anticipating the rise of India as a superpower; and superpowers have no friends, only interests. And remember, Abhimanyu died, yes, but his side won overwhelmingly.780 words, 22 Jul 2025 updated 25 Jul 2025 This is a public episode.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Vardhan, Raman Kirpal, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by MK Venu, Founding Editor of The Wire, and award-winning investigative journalist and author Josy Joseph.The panel begins with a discussion on the recently signed “historic” India-UK free trade agreement. Venu argues that the BJP's intention behind this FTA is to have a “fresh start” in global trade negotiations: “In the last 11 years of the Modi government, the narrative they built, led by Piyush Goyal, is that all the FTAs signed by the UPA government were bad for India, that they were being used as a conduit for Chinese goods.”The conversation then shifts to Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as vice president. Abhinandan asks who will oversee the Rajya Sabha “with the parliament session already happening, and all sorts of noise and protests”.Explaining the legal framework, Anand says, “Article 67 says that till the next vice president is appointed, he will have to continue. But he has made it clear that he will not be attending the House.” Venu draws a pattern of abrupt and unexplained resignations among the Indian political and bureaucratic elite: “There is a striking parallel in the manner in which Dhankhar, CBI chief (former Director) Alok Verma, and (former Election Commissioner) Arun Goel abruptly left. What is it that drives leadership in the Modi-Shah regime? There's intrigue, there's cloak and dagger, there's paranoia. Paranoia accompanied by complete power. It's a paradox.”Commenting on media speculation around Dhankhar's resignation, Anand says, “Journalists and public and social media commentators cannot say the simple thing that ‘we don't know'.” Jayashree adds, “It doesn't matter if there is any value to these theories. What matters is that you have a story, a source, the source has said something outlandish, and that is your headline.”The panel then shifts to the Bombay High Court's recent verdict on the 2006 Mumbai blasts. Raman explains: “It's a 576-page judgement talking about how the police have manufactured evidence in very great detail…This particular judgement has put a huge question mark on this state-specific law MCOCA.”Drawing from his decades of experience reporting on intelligence and security, Josy says: “One of the things that has always struck me was the impunity with which our police and investigative agencies are able to do pure malicious things and get away because there is no prosecution for malpractices.”Josy also sheds light on the complexities of police functioning and the political pressures that often influence investigations. “I think in India today, the most difficult job is not being a journalist or not being an NGO worker. I think the most difficult job is to be an honest government official.”Timecodes00:00:00 – Introductions and announcements00:05:50 – Headlines 00:14:20-FTA Deal between UK & India / VP's resignation00:47:55- MK Venu's recommendations00:54:02 - Bombay Blast acquittal by the HC01:21:30 - Josy's Recommendation01:27:33- Letters01:43:40- RecommendationsCheck out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.Produced and recorded by Amit Pandey, Ashish Anand and Anil Kumar.

Markets rally with the Nifty comfortably above 25,200, led by large-cap banks and autos. Infosys steals the spotlight with a Q1 beat and industry-leading revenue growth. We also break down earnings from Dr Reddy's, Persistent Systems, Tata Consumer and more. Plus, big M&A buzz in liquor, pharma, and a spotlight on PM Modi's UK visit and the landmark FTA. Tune in for all this and more in today's Market Minutes — your morning podcast bringing you the top stories to kickstart your trading day, from stocks in the news to macro trends and global market cues.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi's London Mission: Trade Meets Royalty It was a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora—and a pivotal handshake in British countryside diplomacy. PM Narendra Modi landed in London for a two-day visit focused on formalizing the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, a deal three years in the making. Hosted by newly elected UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two leaders are expected to finalize an FTA that could eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, while opening India to more British whisky, cars, and luxury goods. Commerce ministers Piyush Goyal and Jonathan Reynolds are likely to sign the deal in their presence. With $55 billion in bilateral trade and nearly 1,000 Indian companies in the UK, the partnership runs deep. India is also a major investor, with $20 billion in British ventures. Later, Modi is set to meet King Charles III, blending hard talks with soft diplomacy. Next stop: the Maldives, in a potential diplomatic reset after recent strain. Mayday in Ahmedabad: IndiGo's Engine Scare It was a nerve-wracking moment on the tarmac. IndiGo flight 6E 7966, heading from Ahmedabad to Diu, aborted takeoff after one engine caught fire during its takeoff roll on July 23. The ATR-76 aircraft carried 60 passengers. Pilots issued a “Mayday” and returned to the bay safely. All passengers were evacuated without injury. IndiGo cited a technical snag and promised thorough checks. This scare comes just a day after another IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore also reported a technical fault before landing. No casualties were reported, but the back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over aircraft maintenance during India's busy monsoon season. Visa Thaw: India Reopens Doors to Chinese Tourists After four tense years post-Galwan, India has officially resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals, in what's being seen as a significant diplomatic thaw. The announcement was made quietly via WeChat by the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Chinese travelers can now begin applying online starting July 24. This follows the recent restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and months of border de-escalation, including the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan and a flurry of bilateral talks. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently met his counterpart Wang Yi, urging the end of restrictive trade measures like China's rare earth export curbs—key for India's EV and agri sectors. From 200,000 visas in 2019 to just 2,000 last year, this move aims to reboot people-to-people ties. Trump Sends More Weapons to Ukraine—$322M Worth Amid escalating Russian attacks, the U.S. has cleared a $322 million arms package for Ukraine. The deal includes $150 million for U.S. armored vehicle support and $172 million for surface-to-air missile systems. The announcement comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused other aid to assess U.S. stockpiles—surprising the White House. President Donald Trump, under rising pressure from isolationists, has since pivoted, declaring: “They have to be able to defend themselves.” Trump's new workaround? Let European allies buy U.S. arms and transfer them to Kyiv. Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $67 billion in military support. Still, NATO countries in Eastern Europe are reluctant to part with their own advanced defense systems, despite mounting urgency. Chanda Kochhar Found Guilty in ₹64 Cr Bribery Case A stunning fall for one of India's most celebrated bankers. Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar has been found guilty of accepting a ₹64 crore bribe in return for sanctioning a ₹300 crore loan to Videocon Group. Learn more about your ad choices.

Only 4% of Americans ride transit—but 84% of people in communities with transit say they value it.In this episode, Paul Comfort digs into the details with Mark Aesch (CEO, TransPro Consulting) and Alvin McBorrough (CEO, OGx Consulting). Together they unpack two big levers for agency performance: measuring what actually matters and using AI to deliver it more efficiently. Featuring: Mark Aesch – CEO, TransPro ConsultingWhy ridership is a misleading primary metric; shifting from volume to value; what the 84% really care about (jobs access, service for older adults/people with disabilities, low‑income mobility); and how current federal incentives (unlinked passenger trips, revenue miles) work against customer satisfaction. Mark also previews how FTA reform could move agencies from “happy buses” to “happy customers.” Alvin McBorrough – CEO, OGx ConsultingPractical AI use cases transit agencies can deploy now: real‑time passenger tools (ETAs, chatbots), predictive maintenance, route optimization, computer vision for safety, demand forecasting, and digital twins for planning. Turning “data rich, information poor” operations into smarter decisions—and doing more with less.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Flight Frights: Safety Under the Scanner It's been a tense 48 hours in Indian aviation, with three back-to-back incidents raising concerns over safety and monsoon preparedness. On Tuesday, Air India Flight AI 315 from Hong Kong landed safely in Delhi, only for a fire to break out in the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) just after parking. Luckily, passengers had started disembarking and no injuries were reported. The aircraft has been grounded for checks. This followed two other incidents on Monday: one Kolkata-bound flight aborted takeoff in Delhi due to a technical snag, and another Air India aircraft skidded off the runway in rain-hit Mumbai while arriving from Kochi. In both cases, passengers were unharmed. Adding to the list, an IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore made an emergency landing after a mid-air landing gear warning. All 140 passengers are safe, but the spate of issues has raised tough questions about maintenance protocols and weather-readiness. H1-B Overhaul: Skill May Trump Luck Donald Trump is moving to restructure the U.S. H1-B visa lottery. On July 17, the Department of Homeland Security filed a proposal to introduce a “weighted and wage-linked selection system.” If approved, higher-paid and more skilled applicants will be prioritized over the current random lottery system. This could mark a seismic shift for Indian professionals, who make up over 70% of all approved H1-B visas annually. In FY24, 77% of the 320,000 slots went to Indian nationals. Elon Musk supported the move with a one-word post on X: “Great.” Musk has previously called the system “broken,” and this change could reflect a “merit-first” model, especially appealing to the tech sector. Still, it's a divisive move within Trump's own MAGA base, which often pushes for stricter immigration. The proposal is under regulatory review, with final details yet to be confirmed. Akasa on Ascent: Fastest-Growing Indian Airline Akasa Air is flying high. In just two years, the airline has built a fleet of 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets and placed orders for 226 aircraft to be delivered by 2032. The numbers are impressive: revenue grew 49% year-on-year, Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) rose 48%, and EBITDA margins improved by 50% over FY24. Akasa's RASK (revenue per seat) now stands at 13%, while CASK (cost per seat) remains below 10%. The airline plans to expand international operations from 16% to 25%, targeting Middle East and Southeast Asia routes. CFO Ankur Goel says Akasa is on track to grow its fleet by 25–30% annually, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai and Noida airports could offer strong domestic growth levers. From startup to serious contender, Akasa is becoming India's most ambitious young airline. Modi–Starmer FTA: A Landmark Trade Handshake As PM Narendra Modi heads to the UK for his first visit since Keir Starmer took office, the two leaders are set to sign a long-awaited Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Cleared by India's Cabinet, the FTA promises to cut tariffs on 90% of British goods, making 85% of them duty-free over 10 years. In return, the UK will remove tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, boosting industries like textiles, gems, auto parts, marine goods, and chemicals. This is a big win for Indian exporters, especially in apparel and home textiles, which currently face 8–12% UK duties. The deal also aims to unlock India-UK trade, which currently makes up just 2% of India's global trade—a surprisingly low figure given their historic ties. Once signed, the FTA will go to the British Parliament for ratification. If passed, this could become Britain's biggest trade deal post-Brexit. Learn more about your ad choices.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

For brands, particularly those with access to their own content, that includes the ability to spin up their own channels.He argues “Barriers to creating a TV channel are lower than ever. Now you can have a TV channel up and running in 24 hours.” He observes: “You need about 100 hours of content to make the channel worthwhile.”As opposed to the lean-forward nature of subscription streaming, FAST represents a return to the TV habits of the free to air era. According to Spurzem: “TV had been for many decades what became scrolling through content, TV channels you can zap through.” FAST works on the same principle.Spurzem made an early decision to join the Video Futures Collective and joined Foxtel Media's Toby Dewar on stage at last year's Upfronts to back the initiative, which represents a break from the media establishment centred around the FTA-owned OzTAM.He says it was because VFC filled a gap. “There was a lack of evidence for marketers of how streaming could fit in.”Spurzem argues that VFC is not set up in opposition to OzTAM, which he suggests may be less relevant in the future anyway. “As time goes on, measurement that's based on samples and panels and streaming meters will become less robust.” He points out: “Say both of us watch the same show… even though you and I are watching the same content there's a decent chance we'll see different ads during the ad break. The idea of content as a proxy for ad measurement will become less robust.”“Sooner or later we'll get to the point where the majority of TV is just digital. Once the majority of TV is traded digitally through fit-for-purpose advertising technology. When that takes place around impressions and frequency caps, at that point is a reach currency as valuable as it used to be? I can't help but think that in other areas like online display advertising there's never been demand for a reach currency.”However, Spurzem does not rule out following Netfix in becoming an OzTAM subscriber, conceding: “There are areas we can collaborate on”.And on the topic of AI, Spurzem offers a case for optimism as far as the TV industry goes: “You're not going to get an AI agent to watch TV for you.”IVE Group's charge up the Unmade Index continuesPrint and marketing business IVE Group led the way at the top end of the Unmade Index, rising by 1.3% on a day when most Unmade Index stocks sank. The company is trading at the highest share price in its history and closing in on a half a billion dollars valuation.Among the larger stocks, Seven West Media had the worst day on the Index, losing 3.3% while Southern Cross Austereo dropped 2.7%.

What's really going on behind the scenes of U.S. public transportation policy? In this special edition of Transit Unplugged Insider, Executive Producer Julie Gates turns the mic on our usual host, Paul Comfort, for a revealing look at the shifting political and funding landscape in Washington—and what every transit executive needs to know right now.From what's actually happening with FTA leadership to surprising details about the Trump administration's transit funding priorities, Paul breaks down the top three issues impacting the future of public transportation. This is the intel your grant writer, government affairs lead, and CEO will want to hear. Also in this episode: the latest on congestion pricing in NYC, what's happening with reauthorization, and why safety is the defining metric of this political moment.

In this special episode of the evo India Podcast, Editor Sirish Chandran and Assistant Editor Aatish Mishra talk about the recently finalised India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signed on May 6, 2025. This landmark trade deal is set to boost bilateral trade between India and the UK, open up market access, and significantly influence the Indian automotive industry.What does the FTA mean for imported luxury cars and motorcycles? Will we finally see a price drop on vehicles like Range Rover, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and Norton Motorcycles? How will this impact automobile imports and exports, local manufacturing, and car pricing in India? Sirish and Aatish discuss the expected tariff reductions, and the potential long-term impact on both Indian and British automotive brands.

One expert has warned China has lost trust in New Zealand as a trading partner - and it could impact the current FTA. Prime Minister Chris Luxon is leading a trade delegation to China, with a meeting with China's President Xi Jinping set to take place this coming Friday. Mahon China Investment Management CEO David Mahon says Luxon's sending over a modest delegation over a short timeframe - and it's sending the wrong message to China.

To say it has been a busy year for fintech policy folks would be a gross understatement. With the change in administration to Trump 2.0, we have a 180-degree different perspective on most fintech issues than the previous administration. And there have already been many actions taken by the Trump White House that will have far-reaching implications for fintech.To help us unpack all these issues, I invited back to the show, Penny Lee, the CEO of the Financial Technology Association (FTA) and one of the leading voices in Washington for our industry. In addition to navigating all the complex regulatory changes, the FTA is also putting on their annual CEO Summit this month and, as of this writing, tickets are still available.In this podcast you will learn:The state of play in Washington today and its implications for fintech.Why rescinding the 1033 rule would be such a big deal.How they will be fighting this in court.Why this will be in the court system for a while, whoever wins the initial decision.Where the FTA stands on payments modernization.Penny's thoughts on the remittance tax provision of the Big Beautiful Bill.The BNPL bill that was passed in New York and its impact on the industry.What the FTA is doing with Earned Wage Access initiatives in the states.The state of play for AI regulation in the states as well as the federal level.The prospect for a federal AI bill this year.Details of the annual FTA CEO Summit in Washington happening on June 25.Who is going to be on stage from industry and government.What else FTA members are doing while they are in DC.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Manuel Bonilla, president of the Fresno Teachers Association (FTA), is at the center of a controversy involving Fresno Unified School District (FUSD). Superintendent Misty Her allegedly ordered a dossier compiling fabricated quotes—possibly generated using AI—accusing FTA of personal attacks. Bonilla condemns the document as an attempt to silence criticism and called for disciplinary action against those responsible. The FTA is demanding accountability and considering legal action.

The Trade Minister says New Zealand's hustling on the world stage, looking for every opportunity. KPMG's latest Agribusiness Agenda suggests New Zealand can't rely on our usual global customers and needs to look for new markets. Trade and Agriculture Minister Todd McClay says this is a priority, with free trade negotiations in full force with India He told Mike Hosking we also have to keep growing the value of our exports, something our primary sector's already seeing success with. McClay says there's growth across the board because our farmers produce the highest quality and safest food. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There has been a lot of excitement around the India-U.K. trade deal — PM Narendra Modi termed the deal a "historic milestone" while announcing that both countries "successfully concluded an ambitious and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement", and U.K. PM Keir Starmer recently called it a fantastic deal. India enjoys a trade surplus with the U.K., the deal could help India maintain its competitive edge. Under the deal, India will cut tariffs on 90% of British goods, with 85% becoming duty-free over ten years. In return, the U.K. will abolish duties on selected products, leaving 99% of Indian exports tariff-free. The deal talks about streamlining regulations, which could make India's exports cheaper to the British. Trade between India and the U.K. has grown over the past few decades, and trade relations between the two countries are set to become stronger due to this agreement. The U.K.'s government believes that the FTA will give bilateral trade an annual boost of £25.5 billion by 2040, while India has set a target to double trade to $100 billion by 2030. Given that India is negotiating trade agreements with other countries, can this FTA serve as a template for other deals?

Last week, we talked to Stephanie Pollack about salvaging a transit project in danger of failure — it was the first in a set of interviews we're running on transit. Today, we're zooming out further, and looking at how the federal government funds local transit.Peter Rogoff spent 22 years as a staffer on the most powerful Senate committee, the Appropriations Committee (on the Democratic side). “Approps” determines discretionary spending for agencies, and for most of his time there, Rogoff was the most senior Dem staffer.Rogoff worked on three transportation reauthorization bills (in ‘95, ‘98, and ‘05), the bills that determine how money will be distributed to transit agencies across the country. In 2008, Rogoff was a key player in introducing the idea of making new funding available to “multi-modal” transportation projects — projects that benefit multiple types of transportation. The next transportation reauthorization process is coming up in 2026, and I thought it'd be valuable to better understand how that bill comes together.But Rogoff doesn't just have experience budgeting: the following year, Rogoff was appointed as head of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), where he served for five years. More recently, he's been the CEO of Sound Transit, the Seattle transit agency.I didn't agree with Peter on everything in this conversation (which was recorded in February), and he's taken his fair share of criticism, but it's hard to find a figure in American life who has spent more time thinking about federal transit policy.We discussed:* What does the FTA do?* Why don't transit agencies control their spending?* How do you win Senate funding fights?* Why are streetcars terrible?The full transcript is available at www.statecraft.pub.

Ngày 07/05/2025, Việt Nam và Mỹ chính thức tiến hành phiên đàm phán đầu tiên về mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Trump áp đặt. Vừa đàm phán với thị trường lớn nhất, Hà Nội vừa khẩn trương tìm cách thúc đẩy xuất khẩu sang 17 thị trường đã ký các hiệp định thương mại tự do, mở rộng thêm đối tác, trong đó có Brazil. Cả hai nước muốn giảm phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào một đối tác : Đối với Brazil là Trung Quốc và với Việt Nam là Mỹ, đồng thời hỗ trợ thâm nhập thị trường khu vực của nhau ASEAN và Mercosur.Mở rộng thị trường với BrazilViệt Nam và Brazil ký Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030 sau khi nâng cấp vào tháng 11/2024. Trong chuyến công du Hà Nội ngày 28/03/2025, tổng thống Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva khẳng định “kế hoạch này sẽ giúp chúng tôi tiến triển trong nhiều lĩnh vực”. Cả hai nước còn nhiều tiềm năng, biên độ phát triển để thúc đẩy hợp tác trong nhiều lĩnh vực, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI :“Điều đáng chú ý là với Kế hoạch hành động triển khai quan hệ Đối tác chiến lược giai đoạn 2025-2030, mối quan hệ đối tác rất rộng rãi, bao gồm kinh tế, quốc phòng, nông nghiệp và an ninh lương thực, cũng như các vấn đề liên quan đến môi trường và cuộc chiến chống biến đổi khí hậu. Ông Lula công bố quyết định của Brazil công nhận Quy chế kinh tế thị trường của Việt Nam để tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho dòng đầu tư và phát triển thương mại.Về thương mại, tổng thống Lula cũng đề cập đến việc mở cửa thị trường Việt Nam về thịt và khả năng Việt Nam trở thành trung tâm khu vực về chế biến thịt của Brazil, qua đó tạo điều kiện tiếp cận thị trường châu Á. Brazil có thể xuất khẩu các sản phẩm có giá trị gia tăng cao hơn sang Việt Nam, bao gồm máy bay Embraer - loại máy bay tầm trung. Tham vọng rất là lớn : năm 2024, kim ngạch thương mại giữa hai nước đạt 7,7 tỷ đô la. Mục tiêu chung là đạt 15 tỷ đô la vào năm 2030”.Theo trang web chính phủ Brazil, Việt Nam là nguồn nhập khẩu lớn nhất trong ASEAN và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ 14 thế giới của Brazil. Brazil xuất khẩu sang Việt Nam nhiều hơn sang Bồ Đào Nha, Anh Quốc, Pháp hoặc Paraguay. Việt Nam là khách hàng lớn thứ 5 cho xuất khẩu nông sản của Brazil, ví dụ Brazil cung cấp đến 70% lượng đậu nành nhập khẩu của Việt Nam, khoảng 37% lượng thịt lợn và là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Việt Nam về gia cầm và bông.Tầm quan trọng của Việt Nam, cũng như sự quan tâm của chính phủ Brazil được thông tín viên RFI - ban Brazil Vivian Osvald tại Rio de Janeiro giải thích :“Việt Nam là một quốc gia châu Á quan trọng. Đây không chỉ là một quốc gia mới nổi mà còn là thành viên của ASEAN, Hiệp hội các quốc gia Đông Nam Á, mà Brazil cũng muốn xích lại gần hơn. Có khả năng ông Lula sẽ được mời tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh ASEAN năm nay.Kim ngạch thương mại song phương với Việt Nam đạt khoảng 8 tỷ đô la mỗi năm. Con số này trông có vẻ không đáng kể, nhưng lại lớn hơn trao đổi thương mại với một số nước châu Âu. Ông Lula là tổng thống Brazil đầu tiên đến thăm Việt Nam vào năm 2007.Mục đích của chuyến công du là tăng cường mối quan hệ. Việt Nam nhập khẩu nhiều mặt hàng từ Brazil như đậu nành, ngô và bông và xuất khẩu sang Brazil đồ điện tử, lốp xe, quần áo và giày dép”.Đọc thêmCúp bóng đá Đông Nam Á: Cầu thủ gốc Brazil trở thành niềm hy vọng của tuyển Việt NamVề phía Việt Nam, theo báo chính phủ, tính lũy kế đến tháng 10/2024, Brazil có 7 dự án đầu tư vào Việt Nam với tổng vốn đăng ký 3,85 triệu đô la, chủ yếu trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp chế tạo, bán buôn và bán lẻ, hoạt động chuyên môn khoa học công nghệ. Trong khuôn khổ chuyến công du của tổng thống Lula, hãng đóng gói thịt JBS của Brazil đã ký biên bản ghi nhớ về một thỏa thuận đầu tư trị giá 100 triệu đô la xây dựng hai nhà máy đóng gói thịt ở Việt Nam, chủ yếu là đóng gói thịt thô nhập từ Brazil phân phối cho thị trường Việt Nam và khu vực.Ngoài bóng đá, cà phê cũng là một lĩnh vực khác được chính phủ Brazil nhấn mạnh để tăng cường quan hệ giữa hai nước, cũng là hai nhà sản xuất cà phê lớn nhất thế giới, nghiên cứu giống cây trồng có khả năng chống chịu tốt hơn với tác động của biến đổi khí hậu. Tổng thống Lula khẳng định : “Việt Nam có thể hưởng lợi từ Quỹ Rừng nhiệt đới vĩnh cửu (Fundo Florestas Tropicais para Sempre) do Brazil đề xuất và được đánh giá cao về những nỗ lực bảo vệ môi trường”.Cổ vũ cho “không liên kết” và hợp tác “đa phương”Trang Foreign Policy ngày 28/03 nhận định vòng công du hai nước châu Á Nhật Bản và Việt Nam của tổng thống Lula cho thấy rõ hoạt động đối ngoại đa phương, không liên kết của Brazil, trái ngược với chính sách bảo hộ của tổng thống Donald Trump của Hoa Kỳ, đối tác thương mại lớn thứ hai của Brasilia. Brazil không bị áp mức thuế đối ứng cao như Việt Nam nhưng cũng chịu mức thuế chung đối với nhôm, thép nhập khẩu vào Mỹ. Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của RFI, nhận định :“Cách tiếp cận đa dạng hóa thị trường này đến đúng lúc Mỹ áp dụng mức thuế mới là 25% đối với thép và nhôm và 10% đối với tất cả các sản phẩm khác. Brazil, là nhà cung cấp lớn thứ hai cho Hoa Kỳ, đang tìm cách giảm sự phụ thuộc vào thị trường Mỹ song song với việc tiếp tục đàm phán với Washington để tìm giải pháp cho các mức thuế bị áp đặt. Ví dụ, tại Tokyo, tổng thống Lula tuyên bố ông sẽ đi đầu để giúp thúc đẩy hiệp định thương mại tự do giữa Nhật Bản và khối Mercosur, khối bao gồm Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay và Uruguay”.Đọc thêmBrazil trở thành quốc gia BRICS thứ hai không tham gia dự án BRI của Trung QuốcNgoài ra, giống như Việt Nam, Brazil cũng bị phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào đối tác Trung Quốc trong những năm gần đây và có thể đẩy Brazil vào thế nguy hiểm, dễ bị tác động hơn trong bối cảnh chiến tranh thương mại Mỹ-Trung. Do đó, Brazil tự vệ bằng cách phát triển quan hệ với nhiều nước châu Á khác, theo giải thích của nhà báo Elcio Ramalho :“Chuyến đi này rất quan trọng vì Brazil đang tìm kiếm đối tác thay thế để đối phó với chủ nghĩa bảo hộ của Mỹ. Đáng chú ý là tổng thống Lula đi cùng với một phái đoàn lớn các chính trị gia, chủ tịch Hạ viện và Thượng viện, cũng như các doanh nhân và giám đốc công ty.Việc lựa chọn Nhật Bản và Việt Nam được giải thích bởi tiềm năng thương mại của hai nước và cũng chứng minh tầm quan trọng mà Brazil dành cho khu vực châu Á và để tránh sự phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào Trung Quốc, đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Brazil. Đối với Nhật Bản, việc mở cửa thị trường thịt bò Brazil đang bị thách thức”.Tiếp cận thị trường khu vực của nhau thông qua đối tácTại Hà Nội, tổng thống Brazil khẳng định mong muốn làm cầu nối đưa Việt Nam đến khối Mercosur và Nam Mỹ và cũng coi Việt Nam là cầu nối giữa Brazil và thị trường ASEAN với hơn 600 triệu dân. Theo ông Lula, Mỹ latinh và ASEAN là hai khu vực năng động, góp phần hình thành trật tự thế giới đa cực. GDP của thị trường chung Nam Mỹ Mercosur và ASEAN lần lượt đạt khoảng 2.800 tỷ đô la và 3.800 tỷ đô la, cho thấy tầm quan trọng của hai khu vực trên trường quốc tế.Thủ tướng Việt Nam Phạm Minh Chính cũng đề nghị chính phủ Brazil ủng hộ, thúc đẩy sớm khởi động đàm phán FTA giữa Việt Nam và Mercosur. Khối Thị trường Chung Nam Mỹ - Mercosur (thành lập ngày 26/03/1991) hiện có 4 nước thành viên thường trực Achentina, Brazil, Paraguay và Uruguay sau khi Venezuela bị đình chỉ tư cách thành viên năm 2017. Các nước Colombia, Chilê, Pêru, Bolivia và Ecuador, Guyana và Suriname có tư cách thành viên liên kết.Liệu Hà Nội có thể dựa vào Brazil để chinh phục các thị trường xuất khẩu mới ? Elcio Ramalho, trưởng ban Brazil của đài RFI, nhận định : “Là nước giữ chủ tịch Mercosur từ tháng 07/2025, Brazil sẽ nỗ lực hướng tới một thỏa thuận cân bằng với Việt Nam. Hơn nữa, Brazil đã mời Việt Nam tham dự hội nghị thượng đỉnh BRICS vào tháng 7 tại Rio de Janeiro và COP30 tại Belém, cho thấy mong muốn đưa Việt Nam vào các diễn đàn đa phương này nhiều hơn nữa và điều này có thể mở ra những cơ hội xuất khẩu mới cho Hà Nội”.Đọc thêmTại sao Việt Nam không phản hồi lời mời trở thành "quốc gia đối tác" của BRICS ?Bài học từ mức thuế 46% do tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đơn phương áp đặt buộc Việt Nam cơ cấu lại sản xuất, thúc đẩy tiêu dùng… và tránh “không bị phụ thuộc vào bất cứ đối tác nào” bằng cách thúc đẩy mở rộng, đa dạng hóa thị trường xuất khẩu thông qua các hiệp định thương mại tự do (FTA), được thủ tướng Phạm Minh Chính nhấn mạnh là “cánh cửa quan trọng kết nối Việt Nam với thế giới”.Việt Nam hiện có 17 FTA, trong đó có nhiều hiệp định với các khu vực như với Liên minh Kinh tế Á-Âu (EAEU), Hiệp định Đối tác Toàn diện và Tiến bộ xuyên Thái Bình Dương (CPTPP), Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (EVFTA), Hiệp định Đối tác Kinh tế Toàn diện Khu vực (RECEP)… và đang đàm phán hai FTA mới : EFTA (gồm Thụy Sĩ, Na Uy, Iceland, Liechtenstein) và ASEAN-Canada. Theo thủ tướng Việt Nam, các FTA đã mang lại hiệu quả, năm 2024, tổng kim ngạch xuất nhập khẩu đạt gần 800 tỷ đô la.Song song với những hiệp định thương mại, Việt Nam không ngừng thắt chặt hợp tác thương mại với các nước đối tác để giữ vững mục tiêu tăng trưởng 8% trong năm 2025. Điều này được thể hiện qua số chuyến công du nước ngoài của các nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam cũng như những chuyến thăm cấp Nhà nước đến Việt Nam như Nga, Bỉ, Hà Lan, Tây Ban Nha, Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản… Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron dự kiến đến thăm Việt Nam vào cuối tháng 05.

We're throwing it back to trapping season for this week's episode, recorded right here in the Camo Cave with our good friend and trapping expert Alan Probst. Alan's made the trip from Pennsylvania to the Deep South more times than we can count, and every visit brings real impact… on our land, our wildlife, and our understanding of both.   In this conversation, Alan shares valuable tips and techniques for managing predators and explains how effective trapping can directly improve your turkey flock. There's no better teacher or ambassador for the trapping community, and if you care about land, legacy, and more birds… this one's a must-listen.   Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt:  Instagram: @ffodpodcast Instagram: @moplandforsale Twitter: @FistDirt TikTok: @originalturkeythug Instagram : @CuzStrickland Twitter: @CuzStrickland Facebook: @CuzStrickland YouTube: Cuz411

Tyler Goss, from Tampa has two critical sales questions: 1) How do we achieve those "crazy" prospecting numbers I talk about in my books? 2) When should a lead become a pipeline opportunity? In this podcast I break down these answers in plain English. When to Create a Deal: Finding the Sweet Spot There's no shortage of opinions on when to create a deal in your CRM. Some sales leaders will tell you to create a deal before you even make the first call (ridiculous). Others won't let you create one until the contract is practically signed (equally absurd). Here's my take: Both extremes are problematic. You need a pipeline that gives you meaningful data. Here's how we handle this at Sales Gravy: For Inbound Leads: We categorize inbound leads into three distinct groups: 1. List Leads These are people who sign up for our newsletter or download basic resources where we only ask for a name and email address. They're joining our community, and while some may become customers down the road, they're not pipeline opportunities yet. 2. MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads) These folks have given us more detailed information through webinars or content downloads. They've provided their phone number, email address, company, role, etc. There's an implicit understanding that we might reach out, but they haven't expressed a direct interest in buying. I don't want these in my pipeline yet. 3. Hot Leads These people come to us with their hands up, saying things like: "We've got a team of nine and want to do sales training" or "Our SKO is in February, and we want to hire Jeb. How much does he cost?" These leads have an open buying window and go straight into the pipeline. We'll close 95% of these because they've already self-identified as buyers. For Outbound Prospecting: When prospecting outbound we only put opportunities into the pipeline after the prospect has agreed to a first time appointment (FTA). Here's why: First-time appointments are your Money Ball metric – they indicate the health of your prospecting efforts. When an FTA is in your pipeline, you can measure critical data points like: Show/no-show rates by rep Advancement rates from FTA to next stages Conversion rates from FTA to closed business If I have a rep setting tons of FTAs with only a 10% show rate, I need to diagnose that problem. If another rep is advancing 50% of their FTAs to the next stage, that tells me something completely different. The qualification point is simple: both parties have agreed to step into the sales process. That's when it becomes a pipeline opportunity. Some organizations resist this approach because they only want "fully qualified" opportunities in their pipeline. I get it – but you're missing valuable data if you wait too long. Consider this example: If you work in an industry where everyone's under contract, and you know contract expiration dates, you might be tempted to automatically add prospects to your pipeline as their contract end dates approach. I wouldn't do that. Wait until you've had a conversation where they agree to meet with you to discuss options. That agreement to step into the process is your trigger. If you're putting everything into your pipeline, you're diluting your data. If you're waiting until deals are practically closed, why even have a pipeline? The sweet spot is somewhere in between – and for most B2B sales organizations, it's at the first-time appointment stage. Maximizing Prospecting Efficiency: How We Make So Many Calls Tyler also asked about those "crazy" prospecting numbers I mention in my books. How do my teams make hundreds of calls during designated call blocks? The answer boils down to three key principles: 1. Separate List Building from Prospecting Research and building lists is NOT prospecting. When we're prospecting, we're just chopping wood. We have our lists ready in advance, and when it's time to prospect, that's all we do.

India clinches a landmark FTA with the UK, opening up big wins for exports and tariff cuts on whisky and cars. Meanwhile, it squeezes Pakistan's water supply with fast-tracked hydro projects, and eyes IMF-World Bank funding to up the pressure. Also in focus: LIC's bold equity moves, a legal twist on Bajaj bonus shares, and Europe's cold shoulder on India's data regime. Tune in.

The state of foreign affairs across the globe could play into New Zealand's hands as it enters free trade negotiations. A Government delegation has landed in the Indian capital to begin the process of securing an FTA. Former Trade Minister Tim Groser told Mike Hosking he's never loved our chances, but the odds have changed. He says the landscape has changed because of Donald Trump's approach to trade - which could make a deal easier to pull off. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
