President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to India, accusing it of “dumping” rice into U.S. markets and signaling that new tariffs may soon be imposed. Speaking at the White House while announcing a major farm relief package, Trump claimed that Indian rice and Canadian fertiliser imports were undermining American producers. He argued that tariffs could “solve the problem in two minutes,” intensifying fears of a renewed U.S.-India tariff clash as long-standing disputes over subsidies and market access resurface.

00:00You have done for the California rice market into Japan.
00:03It has been monumental for our industry.
00:06Us in the South are really struggling.

00:10I would say it's almost market dynamics that really are true anti-competitive nature.
00:20Countries are dumping rice into this country today.
00:23We've never seen imports this great.
00:26Which countries?
00:26India, Thailand, even China into Puerto Rico.
00:31Puerto Rico used to be one of the largest markets for U.S. rice.
00:35The tariffs are working, but we need to double down because...
00:39You want more?
00:40Well, they're cheating, right?
00:42They're just subsidizing and...
00:45Tell me about India.
00:46Why is India allowed to do that?
00:48They have to pay tariffs.
00:50Do they have an exemption on rice?
00:52No, sir.
00:52We're still working on their trade deal.
00:54Yeah, but they should be dumping.
00:55I mean, I heard that from others.
00:57You can't do that.
00:58So Puerto Rico used to do a lot of business and now you're...
01:01100% Puerto Rico was U.S.-based.
01:03That's true.
01:04All right.
01:05So easy to settle.
01:08Okay.
01:08But there's others, too, and I can get you a full list as well.
01:09You can get me a full list.
01:11Of course I can.
01:11I wish I was here under better terms.
01:14I'll tell you, I think the rice industry thanks you sincerely for what you have done for the
01:19California rice market and to Japan.
01:22It has been monumental for our industry.
01:25But us in the South are really struggling.
01:28I mean, this is not just a crisis.
01:30I would say it's almost market dynamics that really are true anti-competitive nature, right?
01:40So it follows what you sent out this weekend.
01:43And we do believe that countries are dumping rice into this country today.
01:48We've never seen imports this great.
01:51Which countries?
01:52India, Thailand, even China into Puerto Rico.
01:56Puerto Rico used to be one of the largest markets for U.S. rice.
01:59We haven't shipped rice into Puerto Rico in years.
02:02So this has been happening for years as it didn't start during your administration.
02:07But unfortunately, we're seeing it in a much bigger way now.
02:12The tariffs are working, but we need to double down because...
02:17You want more?
02:18I mean, I understand.
02:18Well, they're cheating, right?
02:20They're just subsidizing and...
02:22Tell me about India.
02:24Why is India allowed to do that?
02:26They have to pay tariffs.
02:28Do they have an exemption on rice?
02:29No, sir.
02:30We're still working on their trade deal.
02:32Yeah, but they should be dumping.
02:33I mean, I heard that from other states.
02:35You can't do that.
02:36There's a WTO case against India right now.
02:38Give me the countries, if you could.
02:41Go ahead.
02:41India?
02:42Who else?
02:43So India...
02:43Mark it down.

02:44Yes, sir.
02:46India, Thailand, China, into Puerto Rico.
02:50Not into the continental U.S., but into Puerto Rico.
02:54Those are the main culprits.
02:56So Puerto Rico used to do a lot of business, and now you're...
02:59100% Puerto Rico was U.S.-based on...
