Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was hailed by US President Donald Trump on Friday, who said that the two nations were excellent friends and that he expected their trade negotiations to be successful.
It very much proves, following in the footprints of Modi’s latest visit here on Washington, by Trump to reporters at the White House, ‘Modi and I have been long time good friends.’ For instance, among the top high-tariff countries in the world, India is included. Really intelligent people.
“I consider him to be a very intelligent man and a great friend,” he continued. We had excellent conversations. India and our nation will get along great, in my opinion. You have a fantastic prime minister, I should add.
During that famous moment of his first term at a “Howdy Modi” rally, Prime Minister Modi earlier this week was under query regarding his relations with President Trump. Prime Minister Modi recalled that day when Trump ignored all security precautions and walked about the stadium with him.
He stated, “I was touched by his courage and his trust in me,” adding that Trump had also shown bravery after being assassinated during his presidential campaign.
India tariffs imposed by Trump
According to news agency Reuters, Donald Trump stated in an interview with Breitbart News earlier this month that he thinks India will lower its tariff on American goods.
Donald Trump said, they are probably going to be abolishing those tariffs horrendously but from April 2, we are going to impose on them the same tariffs they charge us, as literally reported by Reuters.
Previous remarks by Trump characterizing India’s high tariff rates as “unfair” may result in India lowering its tariffs.
India has stated that it would be willing to lower duties on more than half of US imports, which are valued at $23 billion, according to Reuters.
