Trump to Announce Reciprocal Tariff Plan Before Modi’s Visit

President Donald Trump is preparing to announce his reciprocal tariff plan ahead of his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned that the announcement is expected to take place before Modi arrives. The plan may enable the U.S. to impose tariffs that match those imposed by other countries on American products. This decision comes in the context of ongoing trade tensions and could have significant implications for U.S.-India relations. Modi’s visit, set for February 12-13, coincides with Trump’s fourth week in his second term. The two leaders are anticipated to discuss trade, defense collaboration, and technology partnerships during their talks.
