America’s AI Action Plan and Mental Health: Building a Smarter Support System
By Janice Tagoe When President Donald Trump unveiled America’s AI Action Plan in July 2025, it was framed as a blueprint for national technological dominance. The 90+ policy recommendations span deregulation, infrastructure, and diplomacy, and their implications for health care, specifically mental health, cannot be overemphasized. Mental health conditions affect tens of millions of Americans, and access to care remains uneven. Could the federal government’s AI roadmap spur innovations that make high-quality support more accessible, efficient, and personalized? Recent research and industry initiatives suggest the answer is yes, but only with deliberate safeguards and inclusive investment. Laying the Groundwork The Action Plan calls for accelerating innovation by removing regulatory hurdles, expanding infrastructure, and building international partnerships. Several provisions speak directly to health care. It urges federal agencies to create regulatory sandboxes and AI Centers of Excellence where researchers and startups can test AI tools under the supervision of agencies like the FDA and share data transparently. It also recommends launching domain-specific initiatives in sectors such as healthcare to develop national standards for AI systems and measure productivity gains.

China’s Electronic Warfare Supremacy – Strategic Implications for India and the United States
By Dr. Nishakant Ojha NEW DELHI - November 11, 2025 - In contemporary warfare, dominance is no longer defined by the size of an army or the range of its missiles but by control over the invisible yet decisive electromagnetic spectrum. The ability to detect, disrupt, or deny information flow across this domain has become the cornerstone of modern conflict. Electronic Warfare (EW) has thus evolved from a tactical support mechanism into a strategic instrument for shaping the outcome of wars. Among global powers, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has emerged as a formidable force, integrating electronic, cyber, and space capabilities to construct a multi-domain system that directly challenges both India and the United States. The PLA’s Strategic Transition Toward Electromagnetic Supremacy Over the last decade, China has transformed its military doctrine through what it calls Integrated Network and Electronic Warfare, a concept that merges cyber operations, space-based intelligence, and electromagnetic control, into a single offensive continuum. This concept underpins the PLA’s System Destruction Warfare doctrine, which focuses not on the annihilating enemy forces but on crippling their ability to perceive, communicate, and respond effectively.

Reshaping Trade Fairly: How U.S. Tariffs Are Encouraging Balanced Growth with India
By Yashasvi Ojha NEW DELHI - October 28, 2025 - India and the United States share one of the world’s most dynamic and multifaceted trade relationships. In the past two decades, the U.S. has consistently ranked among India’s largest trading partners, with bilateral trade crossing $200 billion in 2024 according to the U.S. International Trade Administration. The relationship is driven by complementary strengths—India’s manufacturing and services capabilities, and America’s advanced technology, capital, and market demand. However, the partnership has not been without friction. Since 2018, the United States has introduced several tariff measures aimed at reshaping its global trade posture—focusing on fair competition, domestic job creation, and reducing dependency on certain foreign markets. India, though not the primary target, became part of this recalibration. The imposition of tariffs and the withdrawal of India’s Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) status were major inflection points that forced a rethinking of India’s export strategies and bilateral trade approach. Historical and Policy Context The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program, established in 1976, provided duty-free access for many Indian goods to the U.S. market, benefiting over 3,500 product categories including engineering goods, leather, gems, and textiles. In June 2019, the U.S.
