US President Donald Trump said that India has agreed to ‘reduce its fee’ in its fee, as ‘India imposes a lot of fee on the US, making it difficult to sell the product there.’
Trump said in a statement from the Oval Office (official office of the US President) on Friday, “Almost every country in the world has completely cheated our country from the economic, financial and business point of view.” He said, “Canada, Mexico and then you go straight into line. India imposes a lot of fee on us, much more. You cannot sell anything in India. This is almost, it is almost restrictive. It is restrictive. We do very little business inside. “
Trump said, “By the way, he has agreed that now he wants to cut his fee, because now someone is opening the pole of his actions.” He said, “The same thing with China. The same thing is with many other countries, and the European Union is misusing this country very much. ”
Trump’s remarks came after a visit to the US for a trade talks with Industry and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal for his business talks with his American counterpart Howard Lutnik. Trump has criticized the high fee levied by India for the third time this week.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump said that India is a very high fee country and reiterated that retaliation on countries levying US goods will be applicable from April 2.
Addressing the joint session of the Congress on Tuesday, Trump criticized the high fees levied by India and other countries and termed them as ‘very unfair’. This was the first joint session in the Congress of Trump’s second term.
Addressing MPs from Washington, Trump announced that the counter duty would be implemented next month. In the past, Trump has called India ‘Tariff King’ and ‘great misconduct’.
Last month, during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House, Trump said that India had been very strong in terms of fee ‘. He said, “I don’t blame them, but it is a different way to do business. It is very difficult to sell products in India because they have business obstacles, very strong fees. ”
India said on Friday that it was considering deepening trade relations with the US, including reducing fees and non-fee obstacles under the bilateral trade agreement.
