Donald Trump tariffs highlights: Trump hails 'total reset' in US-China trade relations as talks continue
Senior economic officials from the United States and China are scheduled to hold high-stakes talks in Geneva on Saturday, aiming to ease tensions in a global economy rattled by President Donald Trump’s trade war.US President Donald Trump had earlier said India "agreed" to drop its high tariffs "to nothing". "I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We're not going to put up with that, and they've agreed already to drop it. They'll drop it to nothing. They've already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade."So we're going to put down some numbers and we're going to say our country is open for business and they're going to come in and they're going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It's very simple. It's very simple," he added.In the past, Trump has called India "tariff king" and a "big abuser".Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are "coming along great" and he thinks "we'll have a deal with India".
