US President Donald Trump’s imposition of 25 per cent tariffs plus a penalty for buying oil from Russia evoked mixed reactions in India. While Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi got swayed by his ‘dead economy’ remark, some others advocated a wait-and-watch policy. The government took the middle path by striking a balance by continuing to pursue its interests with the US despite challenges, while maintaining its time-tested partnership with Moscow.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
