Trump plans to sign executive order on reciprocal tariffs ahead of Modi meeting

firstpost.com

US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order for "reciprocal tariffs" on countries that impose import duties on US goods. This action is expected before his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. The new tariffs aim to counteract what Trump describes as unfair trade practices. He has previously stated that the US will respond with equal tariffs if other countries charge them. Modi's visit to the US includes discussions on trade, energy, technology, and immigration. This meeting follows Trump's recent tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, which have heightened trade tensions.
