Top Challenges Facing Prez Trump

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the US. Post his ugly campaign rhetoric, the real test now begins for the man at helm. Read on...

Russia

Some Tough Love? 

  • US-Russia ties have never been so bad since the Cold War. There are curbs – Russians are being blamed for US poll tampering. Trump refuses to blame Putin but can’t be seen as selling away US interests.


China

Hard nut to crack 

  • Trump has blamed China for practically all of US’ woes, especially for ‘stealing’ jobs. He wants higher tariffs on Chinese imports and has accused Beijing of currency manipulation. In 2016, US goods exports to China were $104 bn and imports $423 bn. Despite Trump playing big bully, he knows China cannot be forced into submission.


OBAMA’CARE’

Losing cover

  • Trump wants to replace Obama’s health insurance plan. There were 48mn Americans without health insurance and Obamacare got 17 million of them covered. Any change will create a huge turmoil and raise premiums by 20-25%. However, polls have shown that about a third of Americans are opposed to Obamacare.



ECONOMY

Doing well on jobs 

  • Jobs are not growing fast enough, infrastructure is crumbling, there is anger against free trade deals like NAFTA, and there is a national debt of $20 trillion. Even personal debts like student or credit card loans are over a trillion dollars each.
  • He said he’d make America great again by bringing back jobs, especially in manufacturing, which shrank from 17.3mn in 2000 to 12.3mn in 2016.


RACE

Thriving of division 

  • In two years, police have killed 635 black persons — fewer than a third of them suspected of violence. A majority of blacks did not vote for Trump. How to bridge the divide?


ISLAMIC STATE

How do you solve it

  • Obama led the US into war against IS. Trump argues US should get out of wars, but says he’d bomb IS oil sources. For threats to the US, his solution is to ban the entry of Muslims.

CLIMATE CHANGE

What’s that?

  • The 2016 Paris accord was a big deal. The US, as the world’s biggest polluter, became part of it for the first time. But Trump called climate change a “concept the Chinese created”. Any backtracking would ruin efforts against climate change.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
