Trump tariffs: The President of the United States Donald Trump on Wednesday 30 July 2025 ordered 25% of the tariff rate on all imports from his “friend” nation in India, with effect from 1 August 2025, referring to the high rates of the Asian Nation tariffs.
“Remember, while India is our friend, over the years we have been doing relatively few shops with them, because their tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world, and have the most strenuous and unpleasant non -monetary trade barriers to any country,” Trump said in his social contribution to Truth.
Hours before storing 25% of tariffs in India, at the top of an existing 10% basic import duty on all American imports, Donald Trump said that even though India is a good friend for the US, the nation charged “more tariffs” than almost any other nation.
“Yeah, I think so. India is my friend. At my request, they ended the war with Pakistan … Agreement with India is not completed. India was a good friend, but India charged more tariffs than almost every other country …” President Trump told reporters on board Air Force One.
