NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump criticised the high tariffs charged by India and other countries including China, calling it “very unfair” and announcing reciprocal tariffs will kick in from next month.
In his address to a Joint Session of the US Congress, the president said that the the reciprocal tariffs will commence April 2.
“Other countries have used tariffs against us for decades and now it’s our turn to start using them against those other countries. On average, the European Union, China, Brazil, India, – Mexico and Canada – Have you heard of them -and countless other nations charge us tremendously higher tariffs than we charge them. It’s very unfair,” Trump said Tuesday night.
