In a fiery White House roundtable aimed at bolstering America’s beleaguered farmers, President Donald Trump zeroed in on India, accusing the South Asian giant of “dumping” cheap rice into U.S. markets and vowing swift tariffs to “solve the problem in two minutes.”
The remarks, delivered alongside the announcement of a $12 billion federal aid package for agriculture, signal a fresh chapter in the ongoing U.S.-India trade standoff, where tariffs have already soared to 50% on most Indian goods earlier this year.
