Mr Trump is at it again. This time he said it took him just two minutes to get India to cut tariffs on American motorcycles by half.

00:00I'd go down, look at motorcycles as an example, India, 50 percent, it was 100 percent.
00:26So I'll be talking a lot about this over the next period of time.
00:30And I want to just thank the incredible people, all friends of mine.
00:35They are, this is a very early meeting, this is the beginning of something I think that's
00:39going to be very important for our country.
00:42And I look forward to discussing it.
00:43They did a chart right here where, as an example, and these are not big abuses, go down, look
00:52at motorcycles as an example, India, 50 percent, it was 100 percent.
00:58I got them down to 50 percent just by talking for about two minutes.
01:02But it's still 50 percent versus 2.4 percent.
01:05Again, other than that, it's a very fair deal.
01:08And something like whiskey from India and other things from India, India is a very high
01:13tariff, they charge us a lot of tariffs, but you look at whiskey.
01:17So India gets 150 percent and we get nothing.
01:23I will tell you that those are just a few of the products.
01:26It's actually much worse than that, as bad as that sounds.
01:29And all we're saying, if you're going to charge us 150 percent, we're going to charge you
01:33150 percent.
01:34And what will happen in many cases is we'll both charge each other nothing.
01:38Or we'll get 150 percent.
01:40That's okay too.
01:42I spoke to a couple of senators about this that aren't really into this stuff, and they
01:46said, hey, sounds fair to me.
01:50And a lot of people think it's fair.
01:53We have to get foreign countries to respect us again, both militarily and on trade.
02:00And I tell you, we have come a long way in two years.
02:02It's a whole different ballgame.
