Trilateral clash in NRNA America, Kharel, Sah for president, and Anup Khanal takes over as Adhikari general secretary

Image
The voting process for selecting the new leadership of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) USA began on Sunday. About 13,000 members of the association will vote for their preferred candidates through ballots sent via email and mobile. This time, there will be a three-way competition between Bhanu Kharel, Satendra Sah, and Ramhari Adhikari for the post of president. All three candidates were intensifying the final phase of activities to woo voters before the election. Due to the divisions, disputes, and internal dissatisfaction seen in the last term, this time the members have appeared more cautious in selecting the leadership. In states with a large number of voters, like California, New York, and Texas, members have expressed expectations for the new leadership. Along with the president, there is also competition for other positions, including vice president, general secretary, secretary, and others. All three candidates have entered the field with a pail.

After China bowed to Trump, India also started retaliating!

After China did not budge even after the US imposed high tariffs on Chinese goods, President Donald Trump has reduced the tariff rate. Now that China has retaliated and bent the US, it seems that India has also adopted a policy of retaliation. Trump has decided that China, which retaliated, will benefit more than its friendly country that went to talks without retaliating against the high tariff rate. Therefore, now along with India, Japan is also in a position to regret it. Trump had announced on April 2, calling it 'Independence Day', that he would impose 10 percent tariffs on all trading partners and high 'reciprocal' tariffs on major competitor countries. After that announcement, he threatened all countries with retaliatory measures by imposing even higher tariffs and rewarding them if they did not. Out of fear, no one except China took retaliatory measures. He had imposed reciprocal tariffs with the intention of making a trade agreement on terms that would benefit the US by imposing various high tariffs on all countries that had trade benefits with the US.  Although he promised to reward those who did not take retaliatory measures, he had no intention of reducing tariffs until a trade deal was reached. However, because this threatened to collapse the US economy, he withdrew the high reciprocal tariffs imposed on more than 70 countries within a week and imposed 10 percent on all of them. China ignored his threat and imposed retaliatory tariffs. As Trump became angry and increased the tariffs further and China responded again, the tariffs imposed on China skyrocketed to 145 percent after Trump began his second term. The tariffs imposed on American goods by China also reached 125 percent. Despite China's retaliatory measures, Trump relented less than 6 weeks later. After the US-China trade talks held in Geneva, Switzerland on Saturday and Sunday, both countries announced on Monday that they would reduce the tariffs imposed on each other by 115 percentage points for 90 days. Since then, the tariffs imposed on China have fallen to 30 percent during Trump's second term.  The 10 percent tariff imposed twice on the sale of raw chemicals used to make fentanyl, and the reciprocal rate imposed on all countries will remain at 30 percent, 10 percent each. Trump had twice increased tariffs by 10 percent, accusing China of selling the raw chemicals used to make fentanyl, which kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, to drug trafficking gangs. If China promises to take some steps to stop the export of raw chemicals used to make fentanyl, it seems that Trump will also remove the 20 percent tariff. Even though Trump has retaliated in this way, China has benefited. Seeing this, friendly countries including India, Japan, and others who tried to please him without retaliating are starting to regret it. The Indian government has been trying to please Trump since the beginning of his second term by not imposing tariffs on Indian products. To please Trump, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi took back hundreds of illegal Indian immigrants in the United States.  According to the British newspaper The Guardian, Modi had promised to take back up to 18,000 illegal Indian immigrants. India was trying to please not only Trump but also his close ally, billionaire Elon Musk. Modi also met Musk when he went to the US to meet Trump in February. In the hope that Trump would not impose tariffs on Indian products, Modi changed his government's policy and took steps to make it easier for Tesla to sell cars in India. Musk's communications company Starlink was also allowed to expand internet services in India. India also went to the extent of preparing many proposals to please Trump, including reducing customs duties on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. India's neighbor China, however, retaliated
against Trump. Finally, when China did not budge, Trump himself bowed.  After the US took the initiative, the US agreed to reduce the high tariff rates imposed by Trump in the trade talks. Seeing China's stubbornness and bowing to Trump, India, which considers China its main competitor, seems to have adopted a policy of retaliating against it. India has gone to the World Trade Organization (WTO) against the US. Bloomberg has written that India has informed the WTO that it will impose tariffs on American goods in return for the 25 percent tariff imposed by the US on Indian steel and aluminum.
