Trump threatens new tariffs on India over rice 'dumping'

Donald Trump

The threat comes amid talks for a trade deal with New Delhi.

“Why is India allowed to do that?” Trump asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “They have to pay tariffs. Do they have an exemption on rice?”

Trump was told in the meeting that the two largest brands in the retail rice market in the US were Indian.

“All right, and we'll take care of it,” he said. “That's great. It’s so easy... Tariffs, again, solves the problem in two minutes.”
