'Giving me b******t…': Trump shouted at key aide over India, China tariffs?| Lutnick| USA| Trade

US President Donald Trump reportedly clashed with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over India's tariff rates during internal discussions ahead of Washington's major tariff policy announcement. According to the book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Trump was convinced that India imposed far higher tariffs on American goods than official US government figures suggested. The book claims Trump repeatedly questioned the data presented by officials and dismissed figures provided by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), insisting that India's tariff rates were much higher than reported.
