Trump revealed his plans to impose duties of 350% against India and Pakistan

US President Donald Trump, speaking at the US-Saudi Arabia investment forum on November 19, said he was ready to impose duties of 350% against New Delhi and Islamabad in order to resolve the India-Pakistan conflict.

"India and Pakistan were going to go at each other with nuclear weapons. And I said, "Okay, you can go, but I'm imposing 350% duties on every country," the American leader said.

According to the head of the White House, these sanctions implied the absence of any trade with the United States, so the conflicting parties agreed to resolve the situation between them.
