Trump says India offered zero tariffs on US goods

US President Donald Trump said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered to reduce India’s tariffs on US goods to zero, although Washington had a public solidarity with China and Russian leaders in the face of trade pressure of Washington.

While calling the United States’s relationship with India as “one -sided”, Trump wrote on the real social platform on Monday: “Now they offered to cut their tariffs to anything, but they’re late. They should do it many years ago.”

The Embassy of India in Washington did not respond immediately to Trump’s comments, following the implementation of total tasks up to 50 percent of Indian goods asking questions about the future of the US-India relationship.

Trump’s word came as in China for a summit of more than 20 leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a Chinese -backed attempt, a renewed momentum of Trump’s global tariff attack.

At the summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping suppressed his vision for a new global security and economic order that gave priority to the “Global South” with a direct challenge to the United States.

Considering the common concerns about the growing power of China, the US-India relationship has been strengthened in recent years, including Trump’s first period, but Trump threatened tariffs in India after refusing to buy Russian oil to challenge Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

In China, in an image designed to transmit solidarity, Putin and Modi were shown to hand in hand as they walked to Xi before the summit was opened.

Three men stood shoulder to shoulder, surrounded by laughing and interpreters.

Beijing used the summit to associate it with the new Delhi. Modi, who visited China for the first time in seven years, and XI admitted that their countries were development partners, not competitors, and discussed ways to improve trade.

The US Department of State and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comments about meetings in China.
