Trump is a coward man- Arvind Kejriwal
Arvind Kejriwal said, “If Trump put 145 percent tariff on China, China also imposed 125 percent tariff, Trump had to bow down. Mexico, Canada, European Union everywhere governments responded to Trump. Trump is a cowardly man who stood against Trump, Trump had to bow down in front of him. Modi ji remains a wet cat in front of Trump. Don’t know what are the compulsions. ”
He said, “Today our country is killing from side. On one side, Trump has imposed 50 percent tariff. Due to this our domestic industry is on the verge of closure. Because our export (export) stopped. On the other hand, PM Modi ended the tariff on the goods that came from America. America’s goods will be sold here. We should have put double tariffs. ”
The former Chief Minister said, “If Trump put 50 % tariff, we should put 100 percent tariff. Our population is so much that no one can tolerate our displeasure. Modi ji, why do you bow down? This is an issue of honor of India. You show courage, we are with you. ”
