US President Donald Trump on Monday signalled that he may impose fresh tariffs on agricultural imports, especially rice from India and fertiliser from Canada. Speaking at a meeting at the White House, Trump said India should not be allowed to “dump” its rice into the US and a tariff must be imposed on New Delhi.
Farmers have pointed to falling rice prices, claiming imports from countries like India, Vietnam and Thailand are undercutting their crops. He said he would “take care” of the issue.
