The impact of Trump’s blast of tariff hikes reverberated across the world Monday as America’s trading partners puzzled over whether there was room for negotiating better deals. Pakistan has planned to send a delegation to Washington this month to try negotiating the 29 per cent tariffs, officials said.

Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus addressed a letter to Trump requesting him to postpone the application of the tariffs on Bangladesh for three months to allow the interim government to smoothly implement its initiative to substantially increase US exports to the country, the Chief Adviser's Press Wing said in a statement.

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).
