In a recent interview with Breitbart News, President Donald Trump acknowledged the strong relationship between the United States and India but expressed concerns over India’s high tariffs on American goods. He stated that while he believes India may reduce these tariffs, the U.S. plans to implement reciprocal tariffs starting April 2 if no action is taken.
Trump has previously referred to India as the “tariff king,” criticizing the substantial import duties imposed by New Delhi. He emphasized that the U.S. would match India’s tariffs if they remain unchanged.
This development adds to the global trade tensions, with potential implications for both economies. India is currently evaluating its options as the April 2 deadline approaches.
