Donald Trump warned to India, But said Narendra Modi is a 'Fantastic' Man
US President Donald Trump called India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "magnificent person", but at the same time he has complained that America is not getting anything from Modi. This is Trump's second complaint. He is looking at the relationship between these two countries as a zero-sum game.
For the second time in last two weeks trump complaints by American President Donald Trump, the complaint indicates that he is not happy with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump complained about India's tariff on the import of motorcycles. However, Trump said, while lodging a complaint in the form of a mimicry of Modi's 'Namaste' style.
Trump said during the meeting with American lawmakers in US on February 14, Harley-Davidson - India's tariff in particular on the import of American motorcycles - was very high. He says repeating the same complaint on Monday.
"When I spoke to PM (Modi) he said we are lowering it to 50% but so far we are getting nothing. He gets 50%, he thinks, he is doing us a favour, but that is not a favour," complained Trump at a meeting of the governors of US states at the White House. "I wasn't sure - he said it so beautifully. He's a beautiful man. And he said, 'I just want to inform you that we have reduced it to 75, but we have further reduced it to 50'. And I said, huh. What do I say? Am I supposed to be thrilled?" said Trump, imitating Modi by holding his palms in a 'namste' and speaking in a low and serious voice.
Trump said that "Modi is a fantastic person, he said I just want to inform you that we have reduced it to 75, and further we will reduce it by 50." Trump says keeping the matter going " And I said - Huh, what did I say? Would I be thrilled? " Trump, imitating Modi's 'Namaste', adding his palms and speaking slowly and speaking loudly. If he had said the word 'namaste' with his American tongue in that condition, it would be very funny and insulting to India but thankfully he did not say anything like this. Thankfully, the insults stopped there and he did not do his 'Indian accent' this time.
Trump had earlier threatened to circumvent the import duty on American motorbike in India by saying 'eye-for-an-eye' thing for stalemate. He threatened to impose a mutual fee on import of motorcycles manufactured in India in the US.
Trump is not stranger to threatening any other country when it comes to business, they complain that all the countries of the earth take advantage of America.
