HE MADE THE remarks while responding to a question on a potential trade agreement with China.

Trump said India and Brazil were among countries that impose high tariffs on certain US products.

"The word reciprocal is important because if somebody charges us - India, we don't have to talk about our own - if India charges us 100%, do we charge them nothing for the same?" Trump said.

"You know, they send in a bicycle and we send them a bicycle. They charge us 100 and 200. India charges a lot. Brazil charges a lot. If they want to charge us, that's fine, but we're going to charge them the same thing," Trump said at a news conference at Mar-a-Lago.
