Trump calls India ‘very big abuser’ of trade ties with US
This comes after Trump said at a campaign event on Tuesday that India became a “very big abuser” of the US-India trade relationship. He said this on account of high duties it imposes on some imports from the US and said New Delhi “will likely be very tough” in negotiations.
“If anybody charges us 10 cents, in the event that they charge us $2, in the event that they charge us 100 per cent 250, we charge them the same,” he said.
Listing India among them, he said that countries the US became trading with are “the sharpest people. They’re no longer slightly bit backward … they’re at the end of their game, and that they use it against us”.
He added, “China is the toughest of all, but we were taking good care of China with the tariffs, so we’re going to do a reciprocal trade.”
Donald Trump and Narendra Modi shared a strong personal rapport for the duration of Trump’s presidency (2017-2021), evident in events such as the “Howdy Modi” rally in Houston and “Namaste Trump” in India.
