President Donald Trump on Monday questioned why India can export large volumes of rice to the United States without facing extra duties, suggesting that new tariffs may be imposed. Speaking at a White House roundtable with farmers, he accused India, Thailand, and China of “dumping” subsidised rice and undermining US producers. Farmers urged tougher action, saying imports have depressed prices. While India is the world’s largest rice exporter, US purchases make up less than 5% of its basmati shipments. The comments come amid ongoing trade tensions, just as US and Indian officials prepare for key negotiations on a long-pending trade agreement.
