By threatening higher tariffs on them, India will be lowering tariffs on us.

Same goes for Europe. Germany is lowering the huge tariffs on American cars to 2%..which is the same we have had on their BMWs, Mercedes, and others.

NEW DELHI, March 25 (Reuters) - India is open to cutting tariffs on more than half of U.S. imports worth $23 billion in the first phase of a trade deal the two nations are negotiating, two government sources said, the biggest cut in years, aimed at fending off reciprocal tariffs.
