Trump says India may lower tariffs, but reciprocal taxes will apply from April 2

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he believes India will lower its tariffs on American goods, even as he reiterated his threat to impose reciprocal tariffs on the country starting April 2.

In an interview with Breitbart News, an American news, opinion, and commentary website, Mr. Trump discussed the U.S.’s relationship with India.

Asked about his summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month, Mr. Trump said he has a “very good relationship” with India. "But the only problem I have with India is they are one of the highest tariffing nations in the world,” the website quoted Mr. Trump as saying. “I believe they’re... probably going to be lowering those tariffs substantially, but on April 2, we will be charging them the same tariffs they charge us.”
