With the launch of trade war against China, the US government that had pressured many a country to liberalize trade and globalize seems to have turned against its own agenda. The United States, once a staunch supporter of free trade has put in place and widened the coverage of a protectionist shield aimed at stimulating domestic production and reducing the country’s trade deficit. With the supremacy of globalization under siege, we provide clarity on the turn of events to facilitate understanding of the concepts involved; we present a robust time-series analysis to determine the extent this trade war between China and the United States brings opportunities for India. We have provided the list of products belonging to technology and labour-intensive categories that India can further export to the United States and reap the gains before other countries. Timely enactment of Indian government policies would be prudent to avail India of this opportunity.
