In particular, Mr. Rahul also introduced the barriers in international trade and the goals of nations when using trade barriers. He also analyzed the case study of trade tensions between India and the US. This has helped students better understand problems that arise in foreign policy in the world.

Particularly, in this case, the two sides could not reach agreement on bilateral import tariffs and measures to limit foreign investment for years, as well as further complex issues.
