Promising to introduce a reciprocal tax if elected to power, former US president and Republican Candidate Donald Trump on Thursday claimed that India, among several major countries, imposes highest tariffs on imported products, PTI reported.

"Perhaps the most important element of my plan to make America extraordinarily wealthy again is reciprocity. It's a word that's very important in my plan because we generally don't charge tariffs. I started that process, it was so great, with the vans and the small trucks, etc. We really don't charge. China will charge us a 200 per cent tariff. Brazil is a big charger. The biggest charger of all is India," Trump said in a major economic policy speech in Detroit.
