India, Oct. 1 -- US President Donald Trump defended his decision and said he loves the word 'tariff' in the English dictionary, which is making the country 'rich'.

"I love tariffs. My favourite word is tariff. We're becoming rich as hell because of it," Trump was quoted as saying by the media while speaking at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico.

"We have a big case in front of the Supreme Court, but I can't imagine it because this is what other nations have done to us," he said.

Trump further said: "We've taken in trillions of dollars. We're rich again. When we finish this out, there'll never be any wealth like what we have. Other countries were taking advantage of us for years and years."

The US Supreme Court is scheduled to hear case...
