U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday requested that India pull back retaliatory levies that New Delhi forced for the current month, calling the obligations “unacceptable”.

India slapped higher levies on 28 U.S. items following Washington’s withdrawal this period of key exchange benefits for New Delhi.

“I look forward to speaking with Prime Minister Modi about the fact that India, for years having put very high tariffs against the United States, just recently increased the tariffs even further, ” Trump said on Twitter.

“This is unacceptable and the tariffs must be withdrawn!” said Trump, who will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the current week’s G20 summit in Japan.

India’s exchange service did not promptly react to a Reuters email looking for input.

Trump’s comments could further intensify an exchange push that has prompted blow for blow taxes from India and the United States and made an unease over the profundity of their security collusion.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was in New Delhi on Wednesday, tried to diminish uplifted exchange pressure with India, promising a reestablished spotlight on arranging better ties, however giving couple of points of interest of how they would conquer arguments about exchange and speculation.

Trump rejected exchange benefits for India under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), under which New Delhi was the greatest recipient that permitted obligation free fares of up to $5.6 billion.

India at first issued a request in June a year ago to raise import assesses as high as 120% on a huge number of U.S. things, enraged by Washington’s refusal to absolved it from higher steel and aluminum levies.

In any case, New Delhi over and again deferred raising duties as the two countries occupied with exchange talks. Exchange between them remained at about $142.1 billion of every 2018.
