    The title of this post is not reflected in the article; neither the term “repercussions” nor “tariff war” are found in it.

    The article’s title is

    India and EU set for ‘mother of all deals’ as Trump’s tariff uncertainty looms

        Forgive me, I’m new here (and I’m not OP). But I thought the title was actually valid comment, and basically was at least in part what the BBC title was saying but not in so many words.

        I know some groups in “the other place” (which I’m weaning myself off slowly) have a rule that titles have to be the same as that used in the article, but I’ve checked the rules here and that doesn’t seem to be one.

          basically was at least in part what the BBC title was saying but not in so many words.

          The only connection to the US tariffwar - afaics - is this: “This comes at a particularly trying geopolitical moment”

          If it says anywhere in the article that a deal 2 decades in the making is even partly the result of “repercussion from the US tariff war”, please point it out to me.

          I don’t see it in the rules either btw, but I found it confusing and worth pointing out.

            It’s in the headline, quote: India and EU set for ‘mother of all deals’ as Trump’s tariff uncertainty looms

            It seems to me that the title used is not unreasonable, on the grounds of the headline alone.

          Hi and welcome here. You mean new in Fediverse, Lemmy or this community? Hope you enjoy it here.

          Well indeed the rule isn’t specifically stated, but using the correct title makes not only sense ( rule 1 -3) but is the proper format imo. If I click on an OP title to find out it’s something else, it’s misleading and I’m wasting my time.

          Comments and opinions can be important and valid, they can be made under content like a note or under the comments section. That’s how most do it.
