White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, when regretting the tariffs imposed by various U.S. countries, refers to India’s tariffs on U.S. alcohol and agricultural products. “I have a handy playboy chart here that shows not only Canada, but also comprehensive tariff rates.
Speaking about the press conference on Tuesday (local time), she said U.S. President Donald Trump believes in reciprocity and wants to have fair, balanced trade practices. The press secretary also accused Canada of “depriving “Americans and Americans” for decades with “exaggerated” tariff rates.
Asked about Trump’s timeline to address the Prime Minister Mark Carney, Levitt replied: “The president responded again to the fact that Canada has deprived the U.S. and hardworking Americans for decades. If you look at the tariff rates Canadians have on Canadians, this is the tax rate Canadians impose on the American people here and our workers, which is egreg.”
Leavitt further mentioned the tariffs imposed by India and Japan on different U.S. products. She added that there is a president in the United States today “actually looking for” the interests of American businesses and workers. Looking at Japan, tariffs, 700%. President Trump believes in reciprocity, and it’s…it’s time…we have a president who is actually looking for the interests of American businesses and workers. Moreover, he demanded fair, balanced trade practices at the end of the day, and unfortunately, Canada has not been treated very well over the last few decades. ”
U.S. President Donald Trump earlier said tariffs on neighboring countries in Mexico and Canada could be higher in the future, Fox News reported. He added that the global community has been around for a long time. “I think [the business community could see clarity on tariffs]“He said, speaking of the CEO’s desire to see predictability of capital expenditures and shareholders’ purposes.” But as time goes by, tariffs may increase, they may rise…” he said, he said.
“For years, globalists have been taking the U.S. money from the U.S. and all we do is take some of it back and we will treat our country fairly,” Trump said. According to Fox News, the U.S. will return to other countries in the same way, according to Fox News.
“This country is deprived from every country in the world, every company in the world. We have been deprived of it at an unprecedented level, and all we have to do is restore it.” According to Fox News, Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China on the grounds that the so-called border control issues in these countries caused fentanyl to pour into the United States and killed U.S. citizens.
Earlier on March 7, Trump delayed Mexico and Canada’s tariffs on short-term periods for certain products before “large products” starting April 2. He said he agreed after a “reproductive dialogue” with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who criticized Canada for becoming a “high tariff country.”
Last week, Trump attacked India’s tariffs, saying it was “almost impossible to sell anything to India” because of “high tariffs”.
In a nationally televised speech, Trump’s focus on his administration will take effect soon. However, he also revealed that India agreed to cut tariffs significantly, allegedly because “someone ended up exposing them for what they did.”
“India has charged us a lot of tariffs. Massive. You can’t even sell anything in India… They have agreed; they want to cut tariffs now because someone has finally exposed them for what they have done.”
