India slashes bourbon whisky tariffs amid intensifying Trump criticism


NEW DELHI (Reuters): India has slashed tariffs on bourbon whisky to 100% from 150%, a move that will benefit imports of brands like Suntory's Jim Beam, after US President Donald Trump's criticised "unfair" levies in the South Asian market.

Trump, who met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House this week, has railed against the climate for American businesses in India and unveiled a roadmap for reciprocal tariffs on countries that put duties on U.S. imports.
