Washington: America gets along with India very well but the relationship was one sided for many years, said US President Donald Trump. For many years since India was charging Washington tremendous tariffs.

Trump in a response to a question in the White House on Tuesday said that No, we get along with India very well, whether he is considering taking away some of the tariffs imposed on India.

He said that for many years, the relationship between India and US was it was one-sided and that changed when he assumed office. India was charging us tremendous tariffs, about the highest in the world,” Trump said adding that the US was therefore not doing much business with India.

But they were doing business with us because we weren’t charging them, foolishly, we weren’t charging them, he said adding that India was pouring its products into the US.

Trump also said that they’d send it in, pour it into our country. Therefore it wouldn’t be made here, which is a negative, but we would not send in anything because they were charging us 100% tariffs.

The US President cited the example of the Harley Davidson motorcycles, saying the company couldn’t sell into India because there was a 200% tariff on a motorcycle. So what happens? Harley Davidson went to India and built a motorcycle plant, and now they don’t have to pay tariffs, same thing as us.
