WASHINGTON: The United States will impose tariffs on the countries that “harm” America, President Donald Trump has said, as he named China, India and Brazil as high-tariff countries.
“We’re going to put tariffs on outside countries and outside people that really mean harm to us. Well, they mean us harm, but they basically want to make their country good,” Trump told House Republicans at a Florida retreat on Monday, the first after he became the president for the second term last week.
“Look at what others do. China is a tremendous tariff maker, and India and Brazil and so many other countries. So we’re not going to let that happen any longer because we’re going to put America first,” he said. PTI
