 "Donald Trump, Trump")
On February 13, the day Prime Minister Modi met US President Donald Trump, the US unveiled its reciprocal tariffs plan. Set to take effect in April, these tariffs are a key part of Trump’s effort to reduce trade deficits and revive US manufacturing and jobs. However, they are more likely to disrupt global trade without delivering those benefits.
The US argues that while it allows low-tariff access to foreign goods, other countries impose higher tariffs and trade barriers on American products. This, it claims, has contributed to a trade deficit exceeding $1 trillion, hurting American industries and workers.
