US President-elect Donald Trump has stated his plan to impose reciprocal
tariffs on countries, including India that levy high duties on American goods.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump emphasised that if other nations tax US products, the US will
respond in kind.
“Reciprocal.
If they tax us, we tax them the same amount. They tax us. We tax them. And they
tax us. Almost in all cases, they're taxing us, and we haven't been taxing
them,” news agency PTI quoted Trump as saying.
Donald Trump made the remarks while responding to a question on a
potential trade agreement with China. However, he specifically pointed to India
and Brazil, saying these were among countries that impose high tariffs on
certain US products.
In his Monday's16 Dec interaction, Trump stressed that fairness is
key, noting that if India charges a 100% tariff on US goods, the US will do the
same in return.
“The word reciprocal is important because if
somebody charges us — India, we don't have to talk about our own — if India
charges us 100%, do we charge them nothing for the same? You know, they send in
a bicycle and we send them a bicycle," Trump said.
"They charge us 100 and 200. India charges a
lot. Brazil charges a lot. If they want to charge us, that's fine, but we're
going to charge them the same thing,” Trump said at the news conference at
Mar-a-Lago.
Meanwhile, outgoing Biden administration said on Tuesday it was leaving
the India-US relationship "in a very strong place", and exuded
confidence that it will continue to have bipartisan support during the Donald
Trump presidency as well.
“We continue to be very ambitious about the US-India relationship. We've had very high-level engagement over the
course of the last several months with the QUAD summit in Delaware, and we are
anticipating a high-level engagement in the last few weeks of the Biden
administration,” Kurt Campbell, Deputy Secretary of State, told reporters
during a conference call in Washington on Tuesday.
