It is the latest US attempt to counter what it sees as unfair trade practices. Mr Trump has pledged to reduce US trade deficits, and has repeatedly criticised India for high tariffs. In a letter to Congress, the US president said India had"not assured the United States that it will provide equitable and reasonable access to the markets of India".Under the Generalised System of Preferences programme,"certain products can enter the US duty-free if the beneficiary developing country meets a set of criteria established by Congress".
Countries that are no longer developing nations shouldn't continue to get special access from the US to help them grow - especially if they're not providing reciprocal access.
