US President Donald Trump has said that reciprocal tariffs will soon be imposed on countries like India and China. The US will impose the same tariffs that these countries impose on American products.
"We haven't done this before," Trump said at an event in Washington on Saturday. "But we will be going down the path of retaliatory tariffs very soon. They are imposing tariffs on us, we will impose tariffs on them. Whether it is a company or a country - like China or India. We will take the same action as the tariffs are being imposed."
Trump said that India takes many advantages from America. Rather, India should now help America.
Trump said that the issue of imposing tariffs also came up in his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to America. Even before the meeting with Modi in Washington, the US President criticized India's tariff policy and said, "They have a lot of tariffs, it's difficult to do business." In addition, in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, he said that America wants to further improve bilateral relations with India. But not in exchange for tariff exemptions! Trump also said that he gave a clear message about America's tariff policy during his meeting with Modi at the White House.
