India, March 5 -- US President Donald Trump has launched a fresh offensive against India, China, and other countries, accusing them of imposing unfair tariffs on American goods. Declaring that the US has been "ripped off for decades," Trump announced that reciprocal tariffs will take effect from April 2, ensuring that foreign nations imposing high tariffs on US exports will face equal levies on their goods entering the US.

"It's very unfair," Trump asserted, emphasizing that the US must retaliate.
