Formula 1 Is Coming Back to India | Why Lula Flew to India With 300 Businessmen | Karnataka Wants To Ban Phones For Under-16s
Sunday, 22 February, 2026

Good Morning, I'm Nelson John. The US Supreme Court killed Trump's sweeping tariffs and Indian exporters in textiles, leather, gems, pharma, and engineering now face just 10 percent instead of 25. Real competitive edge over China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh but India already made concessions for a deal at 18 percent. That conversation is now live in Washington. Europe is rearming with $800 billion and Indian defense manufacturers are squarely in the frame. Karan Adani says he is personally working to bring Formula 1 back to India the Buddh Circuit comes bundled with the Jaypee acquisition, and this time there is a serious business case behind it. Brazil's Lula doubled his own trade target on the spot. And Karnataka wants to ban phones for under-16s. All of that on today's Top of the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.
