US President Donald Trump has slammed "tariff king" India for imposing "tremendously high" tariffs on American products like Harley Davidson motorcycles and said he has spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is going to reduce the duties "substantially".

Trump's charges against the alleged high Indian tariffs, for the second time in a few days came during his White House news conference where he announced a new trade deal with neighbouring Mexico and Canada. Describing India as a "tariff king", Trump reiterated his allegations that New Delhi has a high tariff rate on various American products and claimed that New Delhi wanted to have a trade deal with the US primarily to keep him "happy".
