said Trump, who will meet Modiat this week’s G20 summit inJapan.India’s trade ministry did notimmediately respond to aReuters email seekingcomment.Trump’s remarks could furtherworsen a trade row that has ledto tit-for-tat tariffs from Indiaand the United States andcreated an unease over the

depth of their security alliance.US Secretary of State MikePompeo, who was in New Delhion Wednesday, sought toreduce heightened tradetension with India, promisinga renewed focus onnegotiating better ties, butgiving few specifics of howthey would overcome disputesover trade and investment.Trump scrapped tradeprivileges for India under theGeneralized System ofPreferences (GSP), underwhich New Delhi was thebiggest beneficiary thatallowed duty-free exports ofup to $5.6 billion.India initially issued an orderin June last year to raise importtaxes as high as 120% on aslew of US items, incensed byWashington’s refusal toexempt it from higher steel andaluminium tariffs.But New Delhi repeatedlydelayed raising tariffs as thetwo nations engaged in tradetalks. Trade between themstood at about $142.1 billionin 2018.
