Trump, discussing about trade and tariffs, also termed India a “big abuser” for imposing heavy tariffs on US imports.

Trump went on to say, “These people are the sharpest people…You know the expression, they’re at the top of their game, and they use it against us. But India is very tough. Brazil is very tough….China is the toughest of all, but we were taking care of China with the tariffs.”
