Donald Trump on Tuesday condemned India, China and Brazil as a “tremendous tariff-mekar (on)” and said that his government would not allow all three to continue the path, announced, “… We are not going to do this now because we are going to put America first. “
Speaking to the House Republican at the Florida Retreat, the President of the United States accepted three countries – the founding member of the fast -influential BRICS Block – working in his best interests, but it seemed that “. .. They harm us “.
“We are going to put tariffs on outside countries and people who really harm us. Well … They mean we have loss, but they want to make their country good basically. China is a China one. There is tremendous tariff-maker and India, Brazil, and so many other countries.
Shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emergence, the comment is likely to meet Trump in Washington, early next month. The two leaders spoke on the phone on Monday night; It is not clear that the tariffs were on the agenda, but New Delhi’s approach was on ‘illegal immigrants’.
However, the US President’s perspective on India and Tariffs is seen as many problems, given that he slammed Delhi -America’s biggest business partner – “very huge outrageous” during his campaign.
Trump spoke of “very quick” a “very fair system” to make America “rich and more powerful”, repeating what he said after taking oath in the last week; He said, “Instead of imposing taxes to enrich our citizens to enrich other countries … we will tariff to foreign countries to enrich our citizens.”
And if foreign companies – Indians, Chinese, Brazil or others – want to avoid these high tariffs, Trump said, “he will have to build his plant here in the US”.
He also told the House Republican of the scheme to slap the tariff on steel, aluminum, copper and other materials required by the US Army. “We have to bring back production … there was a time when we built a ship in a day. Now we can’t … we don’t know what we are doing.”
High tariffs on imported goods in the US – especially from China – had to avoid continuously during Trump’s campaign. He also warned of “100 percent tariff” on BRICS nations (in his brain) members-nations not using the dollar not using the dollar as a normal currency.
Trump’s tariffs tired has a clear economic agenda, although it can be a means, and it is a manufacturing jump in the US. By marking the prices of major items like steel, semi-sector, medicines, etc., he is just expecting to do so. “Under the first” economic model, as tariffs go up on other countries, taxes will come down on American workers and businesses and the number of jobs and factories will come home. “
The other perspective is ‘tariff as a weapon’, which is underlined by Trump’s clash to a point-scene with Colombia on exile. The South American country initially refused to accept an aircraft filled with ‘illegal immigrants’, only then a large scale faced 25 percent tariff and a trade war.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro eventually trusted; He was definitely.
White House spokesman Karolin Lewitt was in a hurry to claim a ‘victory’, saying: “Today’s events clarify the world that America is re -honored”, and Trump resonated that feeling on Monday , Which tells reporters “it serves to see the world well” Columbia Spat.
