In a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly criticized Canada, India, and Japan for imposing excessive tariffs on American products. She cited specific cases, including a 300% tariff on American cheese and butter by Canada, a 150% tariff on American alcohol by India, and a 700% tariff on rice by Japan.
Leavitt reinforced President Trump’s stance on fair and reciprocal trade, emphasizing that American businesses and workers have suffered under unfair trade practices for decades. The administration is demanding balanced and just trade agreements to ensure economic fairness for American industries.
With global trade tensions rising, the U.S. is pushing back against unfair foreign tariffs that impact American exports. Stay tuned as the debate over global trade policies continues to unfold.
