What did Trump say about putting tariffs on India? ‘PM Modi is my friend, but not behaving properly…’

US President Donald Trump has announced a tariff. He also announced a discounted tax rate of 26 percent on imported goods from India. Donald Trump announced 49 percent tariffs on Cambodia and 34 percent on China. President Trump said that our country has been looted by other countries for 50 years. Now they will not let this happen. Meanwhile, Donald Trump said that the chart about India shows that 52 percent tariffs have been imposed on the US. This includes currency manipulation and business obstacles. The US has now decided to impose 26 percent tariffs on India.

Trump said, India is very difficult, very difficult, the Prime Minister has just gone. He is my very good friend. You are my friend, but you are not treating us correctly. You are charging 52 percent fee from us, but you have to understand that we have been charging almost zero fee from you for decades. It was seven years ago when he was in power. During this period, we collected hundreds of billion dollars from China as tariffs.

Let us tell you that PM Modi went to America in February. Prime Minister Modi met Trump after taking oath as President and being elected for the second time. Trump has called him the ‘Tariff King’ of India. At the White House in Washington on 13 February, Trump told Modi that India is taking a tough stance in terms of tariff. He does not blame them, but business is like this. There are trade related obstacles in India, so it is difficult to sell there.

America loss in trade with India

Meanwhile, Trump said that America’s trade deficit with India is $ 100 billion (Rs 1 lakh crore). America will discuss inequality with India. Announcing the tariff, Trump said that the US would levy half a duty on imports from countries that are taxing American goods.
