Trump to Impose 100% Tariff on India, Praise for Pakistan
Washington DC, 5 March – (www.deccanlive.com): US President Donald Trump has announced that starting April 2, the US will impose a 100% tariff on India. He said that India charges the US more than 100% in tariffs, so the US will now do the same.
Trump made this announcement during a speech to the US Congress on Wednesday morning (according to Indian time). His speech lasted a record 1 hour and 44 minutes, much longer than his previous speeches.
At the start of his speech, Trump said, “America is back,” meaning the US is strong again. He also claimed that in just 43 days, he achieved more than many governments do in 4 or 8 years.
Additionally, Trump thanked Pakistan for its help. He mentioned that in 2021, Militants in Afghanistan killed 13 US soldiers, and the Pakistani government helped in catching those responsible.
10 Key Points from President Trump’s First Speech:
- Equal Tariffs: Starting April 2, the US will apply equal tariffs on other countries. If foreign companies don’t make products in the US, they will have to pay tariffs.
- Ukraine War: Ukrainian President Zelensky is ready to talk and end the war soon. The US has had serious talks with Russia, and Moscow has shown strong signs of being ready for peace.
- Immigration Issue: In the last four years, 21 million people entered the US illegally. The government has started the biggest border and immigration crackdown in US history.
- Joe Biden: Trump called Biden the worst president in US history. During Biden’s term, millions of illegal immigrants entered the country every month, and inflation increased due to his policies.
- Gold Card Visa: The US will introduce a Gold Card Visa system, similar to the Green Card but more advanced. It will create many jobs and benefit companies.
- Panama Canal and Greenland: The US will try to gain control of the Panama Canal and include Greenland as part of the US. They will protect the people living there.
- Elon Musk and DoGE: Elon Musk’s DoGE department exposed many scandals of the previous federal government. Musk didn’t need to create this department, but he did it for the country.
- Free Speech: The government has completely stopped censorship and brought back free speech in the US. They have ended systems that were used as weapons against people.
- Oil and Gas: The US has more “liquid gold” (oil and gas) than any other country. A huge natural gas pipeline will be built in Alaska, and many countries want to invest billions in it.
- Space Program: The US will push the boundaries of science, take humans further into space, and plant the American flag on Mars. They aim to build the most advanced and powerful civilization in the world.
