Trump Slams US-India Trade as Unfair, Dismisses Late Tariff Reduction Offers

Donald Trump has once again taken aim at the trade dynamics between the United States and India, describing the relationship as a ‘one-sided disaster.’ On his Truth Social platform, Trump highlighted that India has offered to lower its tariffs. However, he suggested that these reductions are being proposed too late to be effective. Trump emphasized that the US does comparatively little trade with India, while India exports a large volume of goods to the United States. He claims that high tariffs imposed by India have been a barrier for US companies seeking to sell goods there. He also pointed out India’s reliance on Russia for oil and military products. Trump’s comments come amidst discussions around trade policies and potential adjustments to the US-India economic relationship.
