Donald Trump clashes with reporter over Russia, cites tariffs on India

Former US President Donald Trump confronted a reporter during a recent media interaction when questioned about his position on Russia. The exchange turned tense after the journalist pressed him on his stance toward Moscow and ongoing global tensions.

Visibly irritated, Trump dismissed the question and told the reporter to “get a new job.” He then shifted the conversation to trade, defending his approach to tariffs and citing India as an example. Trump argued that high tariffs imposed by other countries on American goods justified his policies, reiterating his long-held view that the US must adopt tougher measures to protect its economy.

“I get along very well with India, but when they charge the United States 50% tariffs and we charge them nothing, that’s not fair,” Trump said, stressing that his strategy was designed to ensure reciprocity in trade relations.

His comments come as debates intensify in the US over economic policy, international trade, and diplomatic strategy ahead of future elections. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that strong tariffs are necessary to safeguard American industries and reduce dependence on foreign economies.

The incident has drawn attention online, with supporters praising his bluntness while critics accused him of evading questions on foreign policy. The clash highlights how issues of trade, diplomacy, and security remain central to Trump’s political messaging as he seeks to reassert his influence on the global stage.
