WASHINGTON — PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GREETED INDIAN PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A BEAR HUG ON THURSDAY AND CALLED HIM “A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE,” BUT NONETHELESS WARNED THAT INDIA WON’T BE SPARED FROM HIGHER TARIFFS HE’S BEGUN IMPOSING ON U.S. TRADE PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD.
During a joint press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump warmly welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as "a great friend of mine." Despite this camaraderie, Trump emphasized that India would not be exempt from the heightened U.S. tariffs imposed globally.
He criticized India's high import duties, labeling them as "very unfair and strong," and reiterated his commitment to implementing reciprocal tariffs to ensure a level playing field for U.S. manufacturers.
This stance underscores ongoing trade tensions between the two nations, even as they explore avenues to strengthen their economic partnership.
