Late-night show hosts Stephen Colbert<\/a> and Jimmy Fallon<\/a> have criticised US President Donald Trump<\/a> for imposing a 50 percent tariff on India.\u201cI hope you remembered to set your clocks back to \u2018more expensive\u2019,\u201d adding that Trump\u2019s sweeping new tariffs are set to make the prices of items like gauze, bandages, and wading higher. Colbert emphasized that the tariffs, paid by American companies and consumers, vary based on the country from which the products are imported, citing that the EU faces levies of up to 10 to 15 percent.\u201cBut if the President\u2019s mad at you, they can be much higher. For instance, Trump doubled tariffs on India to 50 percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Highest Tariffs Since The ’30s | Colbert Has Better Ratings | Little Prince Vance<\/p>\n Calling the tariffs \u201chuge\u201d, Colbert also said that Trump is \u201cpunishing\u201d Brazil with 50 percent tariffs, which is going to affect Americans who eat meat, as Brazil sent over 180,000 tons of beef in the first half of the year. \u201cThey raised import taxes to the highest level since the Great Depression. Never a great sign to be compared to the worst thing ever,\u201d Colbert said on the show. Trump previously warned that a recent court ruling against his use of the IEEPA, a Cold War-era law used to justify tariffs on several countries, by what he called a \u201cRadical Left Court,\u201d could trigger a devastating economic downturn comparable to the Great Depression.Trump also said such a decision should have been made earlier to avoid harming the country’s economic progress.<\/p>\n Jimmy Fallon criticizes Trump\u2019s tariffs on India<\/p>\n Jimmy Fallon, on \u201cThe Tonight Show,\u201d also condemned Trump\u2019s tariff policy on India.\u201cToday, more of President Trump\u2019s tariffs went into effect for more than 90 countries, including Canada, Brazil, and India. The only places Trump didn\u2019t charge are North Korea and Epstein Island,\u201d Fallon said.<\/p>\n Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs Raise Global Prices, Putin’s Ceasefire Deadline Approaches | Tonight Show<\/p>\n Fallon pointed out that the 50 percent tariff on Brazil will drive up prices on bananas, mangoes, pineapples, and even everyday items like toilet paper.\u201cYou know it’s bad when people come out of the bathroom like, \u2018Hey, where\u2019s that long CVS receipt?\u2019\u201d he said. Both Brazil and India have been hit with 50 percent tariffs by the US earlier this week. While India has called the tariff hike \u201cunfair, unjustified and unreasonable\u201d, Brazilian President Lula has challenged Trump, dismissing the possibility of direct talks with the US president, which he said would end in “humiliation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump (AP) Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon (ANI) Late-night show hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have criticised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[8505,49,48,38989,75,27069,13397,38991,38990,3668,6825,348,14767,38988],"class_list":["post-59312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-brazil-tariffs","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-economic-impact-of-tariffs","tag-entertainment","tag-india-tariffs","tag-jimmy-fallon","tag-late-night-shows","tag-meat-import-taxes","tag-stephen-colbert","tag-trump-tariffs","tag-tv","tag-us-president-donald-trump","tag-us-trade-policy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
