5 countries that did not bow down to American pressure
1. India: not ready to take non -vegetarian cow’s milk
Trump had announced the first 26% tariff on India. After 4 months, it made a difference of just 1%. Now 25% tariff is applicable to India.
There were several levels of talks between India and US officials, but no agreement could be reached till 31 July. Trump expressed displeasure over the lack of deal between the US and India and said that he would also impose a penalty on India due to buying weapons and oil from Russia.
Reason: America wants entry into India’s Agri and Dairy sector and wants to sell non -vegetarian cow’s milk, but India is not ready for it.
Apart from the interest of farmers, there are religious reasons behind this. At the same time, India is taking more care about its small and medium industries (MSME).
2. China: Will not eliminate subsidy on government companies
The most fierce fierce fight between the US and China over the tariff. In May, the US imposed a tariff of up to 145% on China. After this, China imposed 125% counter -tariff on the US. It later decreased. At present, the US has put 30% tariff on the US on China at 30%.
Reason: America did not just want business balance from China. He wanted China to give less help to its government companies. The US believes that China gives a lot of subsidy to its government companies so that companies from other countries do not compete with them.
The US also demands that China give foreign companies more opportunities in technology and change the law of intellectual property (such as patents etc.). China was not ready for this.
3. Brazil: Maximum 50% tariff
Trump has put 50% tariff on Brazil. However, some important things are excluded from this tariff. Such as aircraft and their parts, aluminum, fertilizer, wood, energy products and orange juice. Only 10% already fixed tariff will be applicable to these.
Reason: Trump is the most angry with the fact that the government is doing excesses against former President Zaier Bolsonaro in Brazil. Apart from this, Brazil’s trade deficit with the US is also very high.
4. Canada: It was expensive to support Palestine
The US has put 35% tariffs on Canada. Earlier this tariff was 25%. Trump increased 10% tariff on Canada because PM Mark Carney has announced to make Palestine a separate country.
Reason: Trump had given two major reasons for putting tariffs on Canada.
First: Canada supports Palestine as a separate country, while America is against it.
Second: Trump believes that Canada is not taking necessary steps to control the supply of Phantenyl (drugs) in the US.
5. South Africa: Causes of tariffs with China, Iran and Russia
The US imposed 30% tariff on South Africa in April. It remained intact even after 4 months. There was no deal between the two countries regarding tariffs.
Reason: Trump claimed that America’s trade deficit with South Africa is very high. Apart from this, Trump is also angry with South Africa’s friendship with Russia, China and Iran.
Countries are looking for options to deal with Trump’s tariff
