White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized India’s high tariffs on American alcohol (150%) and agricultural products (100%). She argued these barriers hinder US exports, citing Kentucky bourbon as an example. Leavitt also accused Canada of imposing unfair tariffs on American goods. Meanwhile, India has reduced bourbon tariffs from 150% to 100% and lowered duties on some wines. The US government insists on “fair and balanced” trade practices. Trump has also warned of increasing tariffs against Mexico and Canada. The debate highlights ongoing global trade tensions under his administration.
