The Trade Minister believes the US is simply looking for a new reason to reintroduce tariffs. 

The Trump administration announced a new 12.5% tariff on dozens of countries, including New Zealand, Australia, and many of our major trading partners. 

It's accusing us of not doing enough to prevent the importation of goods produced by forced labour. 

Todd McClay told Heather du Plessis-Allan he and his international counterparts are all of the same view. 

He says irrespective of what anyone has done, the US is putting the tariff regime back in place and looking for a new legal basis.

Some think the India Free Trade Agreement will produce more benefits than even the Government expects.  

The agreement is moving through Parliament, before it's ratified.

The International Business Forum and Westpac have released new research on how the deal will contribute to value.

Forum Executive Director Felicity Roxburgh says it shows Government forecasts of 0.1% GDP growth in the next decade undersell the benefits.

She told Mike Hosking they can't put a good number on it, but India is on track to be the world's third largest economy by the end of the decade.

Roxburgh says their middle class will exceed the entire population of the EU or ASEAN, so it's a big opportunity for New Zealand.
