In a detailed post titled "Has Trump Outsmarted Everyone on Tariffs?", Sløk noted that the Trump administration's strategy is maybe to maintain 30 per cent tariffs on China and 10 per cent tariffs on all other countries and then give all countries 12 months to lower non-tariff barriers and open up their economies to trade. Trump Tariffs - A Victory For USA? Sløk noted that extending the deadline one year would give countries and US domestic businesses time to adjust to the new world with permanently higher tariffs, and it would also result in an immediate decline in uncertainty.

Delhi's roads set for a makeover: 415 km to be rebuilt under Rs 950-crore scheme
By Tanya Chugh New Delhi [India], June 29 (ANI): In a major infrastructure push, the Delhi government has drawn up a Rs 950-crore plan to reconstruct 415 kilometres of worn-out roads across the city. A proposal in this regard has been sent to the Central government under the Central Road Fund (CRF), with an aim to provide much-needed facelift to key stretches, including the Outer Ring Road, Mathura Road, Najafgarh Road, and Vikas Marg. So far, 150 km of roads have already been repaired, while work is ongoing on another 100 km. A top government source said the proposal has been sent to the Centre, seeking financial assistance to expedite the project. The target for the upcoming financial year is to repair 500 km of roads in the state. Along with the repair of roads, footpaths, and drains, reconstruction will also be undertaken. Construction work will be carried out through e-tendering to complete the project by 2026. The Delhi government hopes to receive financial assistance from the Centre this time, which would help expedite the work. The PWD department has also launched a campaign to fill potholes on the roads. On June 23, the government launched this campaign, during which 3,400 potholes were filled in a single day. 'Our commitment is to give good roads to the people of Delhi. Construction of roads is in progress. We have constructed 150 km of roads and have a target of 500 km for this year. The previous government constructed poor-quality roads. We will recarpet all the roads,' PWD Minister Parvesh Verma told ANI. Citizens can also report road-related complaints through the PWD's website or mobile app. (ANI)
