INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

Irish PM Rules Out Changes to Brexit Deal

  •  Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said that he was open to discussing how to save Britain's exit deal with the EU ahead of talks with Theresa May, but repeated that the text itself could not be reopened.
  • Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29 but the House of Commons last month rejected a divorce deal drawn up between Ms. May's government and Brussels. MPs then voted to request that Ms. May renegotiate the Irish "backstop".
  • Mr. Varadkar insisted that the withdrawal agreement and the backstop are not up for negotiation.
  • He repeated that the EU could discuss changes to a statement on future ties. 

Thai Party to Obey Royal Command

  •  Thai Princess Ubolratana's unprecedented attempt to become the country's next Prime Minister was abruptly nixed after her party agreed to comply with a command from the King opposing the plan.
  • The party's announcement, effectively blocking Ubolratana's candidacy, came after an extraordinary rebuke by her brother King Maha Vajiralongkorn, and removes a hurdle for the ruling junta to hold onto power after the March 24 vote.
  • The Thai Raksa Chart party, affiliated with the powerful Shinawatra political clan, had announced the Princess as their candidate.

Withdrawing Trade Benefits for India

  •  As per reports, India could lose a vital US trade concession, under which it enjoys zero tariffs on $5.6 billion of exports to the United States, amid a widening dispute over its trade and investment policies.
  • A move to withdraw the generalised system of preferences (GSP) from India, the world's largest beneficiary of a scheme that has been in force since the 1970s, would be the strongest punitive action since US President Donald Trump took office in 2017 vowing to reduce the US deficit with large economies.
  • Trump has repeatedly called out India for its high tariffs.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi has courted foreign investment as part of his Make in India campaign to turn India into a manufacturing hub and deliver jobs to the millions of youth entering the workforce.
  • Trump, for his part, has pushed for US manufacturing to return home as part of his Make America Great Again campaign.
