Donald Trump has doubled down on his criticism and said that
"India kills us with tariffs""They have tariffs against us. China, which kills us
with tariffs. India kills us with tariffs. Brazil kills us" with tariffs,
Trump said in an interview with The Scott Jennings Radio Show on Tuesday.
Trump explained how he knows tariffs "better than any
human being in the world" and that India started dropping the tariffs only
after US started imposing tax on New Delhi. Labelling India as the "most
highly tariffed nation" he said, "And you know what, they've
offered me no tariffs in India anymore. No tariffs."
The US President went on to justify why tariffs are
important. "If I didn't have tariffs, they would never make that
offer. They would never make that offer. So you have to have tariffs. We're
going to be economically strong," he said.
However, this is not the first time Trump has made this
claim. Earlier, on Monday, he said that the business relationship between the
two countries had been "totally one-sided". He declared that it was a
"one-sided disaster" and now that India has offered to cut down the
tariffs, he said "it's getting late".
