To Karachi Kings’ horror, the holders went on to post a mammoth total before bundling Kings out cheaply as Shadab Khan led from the front, contributing both with the bat and the ball.

And the fits and starts that have come along with Trump’s tariff program are not just testing these business owners’ patience, they’re also threatening their very operations.

The de-escalation brought the US tariffs on Chinese goods down to 30% from 145%. Markets…
