Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “aid and abet” and it is a phrase meaning “to help someone to do something that is illegal or wrong”.
Example Sentence: Nearly all nations trade with each other using the U.S. dollar, establishing its pre-eminence as the world’s reserve currency… Destabilising and dethroning the U.S. dollar is a key strategy for China to challenge the U.S… It is not in India’s interests to help China’s ascendancy, so one would expect India to not aid and abet China’s desire to move global trade settlements from the dollar to the yuan. But shockingly, this is precisely what it is doing — paying for its own foreign trade in yuan.
This phrase is present in Modi’s ‘rouble wise rupee foolish’ policy and click here to read it.
