I look forward to speaking with Prime Minister Modi about the fact that India, for years having put very high Tariffs against the United States, just recently increased the Tariffs even further. This is unacceptable and the Tariffs must be withdrawn!

we levy huge tax on computer parts and mobile phones. what is it in response to? we have more than 100% tax on cars from the US what is it in response to. Im waiting for an answer. harley davidson bike cost more than twice the US price. that is one of the main reason trump wanted to increase the tarrifs on India.

We have much more goods under tarrif from the USA than vice versa. You cant even buy an iphone from apple without paying double the US price. India basically bullied apple to build the phones in india to reduce the tax. Trump is doing the same. you want to sell steel to the US? go build a steel manufacturing plant in the US and dont export from India just like how apple was forced

Even now India does not allow Ikea or walmart to open stores freely without jumping through massive hoops.

india has an overall worse tarrifs than USA. And this is after including all of trumps recent tarrifs on china candad etc. So before trump came it was even force imbalance for the USA compared to India.

so stop spouting bullshit if you dont know the facts.
