Donald Trump accuses India of charging 100% tariff, says trade might stop

Trump made a reference to India, indicating that his grievances on tariffs was not restricted to the developed economies alone
Press Trust of India Washington Last Updated at June 11, 2018 14:33 IST

President Donald Trump has taken a swipe at India along with the world's other top economies and accused New Delhi of charging 100 per cent tariff on some of the US' goods, as he threatened to cut trade ties with countries who are robbing America.

Trump made the remarks in Canada's Quebec City where he was attending the G7 summit that ended in farce after he abruptly rejected the text of a consensus statement and bitterly insulted the host.

"We're like the piggybank that everybody is robbing," Trump said while addressing a press conference on Saturday.

He also made a reference to India, indicating that his grievances on tariffs was not restricted to the developed economies alone.

So baby think skin has to strike out at India, try to hurt their economy so they don't look so good. Has there ever been a person who;s a bigger puppet than drumpf, think he'd do anything in the world for Putin because Putin's promised him so much and he'd such a total ignoramus he believes it and believes Putin genuinely "likes" him instead of the total disdain in which he's really held.
