The US has once again cited high fees on its liquor and agricultural products, raising the issue of fees levied by India on its goods. White House Press Secretary Caroline Livit on Tuesday (March 11, 2025) referred to a question on Canada during a press conference on Tuesday (March 11, 2025) and mentioned the high fee levied by India.
He said, ‘Canada has been robbing America and toiling Americans for decades. If you look at the rates of fees levied by the people of Canada on American people and those working here, then it is very terrible. In fact, I have an easy list here that reflects the rate of fee not only in Canada, but also throughout the country. If you look at Canada … American cheese and butter levy about 300 % fee.
Leavet said, ‘Look at India, there is a 150 % fee on American liquor. Do you think this is helping to export Kentucky Borbon to India? I do not think so. There is a 100 % fee on agricultural products from India. Look at Japan, there is a 700 % fee on rice.
Livit showed a list that fees the fees levied by India, Canada and Japan. On the list, two circles with tricolor colors reflect the fees levied by India.
He said, ‘The President (Donald) believes in Trump par, and now the time has come that we have a president who really takes care of the interests of American businesses and workers, and he is demanding only fair and balanced business practices at the end of the day. … and unfortunately, Canada has not been treating us at all for the last several decades.
President Trump has been criticizing the high fees levied by India for the last few days. Trump said on Friday that India has agreed to ‘reduce its fee’. At the same time, he also reiterated his claim that India imposes heavy duty on America.
