Now wouldn't you agree that the Harley Davidson is a beautiful bike? But it has caused a small tug of war between India and the US.

Miffed with the high import duty imposed by India on the Harley-Davidson motorbikes, United States President Donald Trump yet again imitated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sans the Indian accent, this time.

The high import duty on Harley-Davidson bikes has been a sore spot for the US President, who reiterated his displeasure, saying the US was "getting nothing" out of the recent tariff cut from 100% to 50%.

He added the US wants fair and reciprocal trade deals.

"When they (Harley Davidson) send a motorcycle to India, as an example, they have to pay 100%tax - 100%," Trump said in his remarks to a gathering of governors of all the states at the White House.

Referring to his recent conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said the "fantastic man" informed him that India has reduced tariffs on imported motorcycles, but the US was "getting nothing".

"Now, the prime minister, who I think is a fantastic man, called me the other day and said we are lowering it to 50%. I said okay, but so far we're getting nothing. So we get nothing. He gets 50 (%), and they think we're doing - like they're doing us a favor. That's not a favor," he said.

President Trump went on to imitate Prime Minister Modi by folding his hands and taking on a soft and serious tone,"I wasn't sure - he said it so beautifully. He's a beautiful man. And he said, 'I just want to inform you that we have reduced it to 75, but we have further reduced it to 50'. And I said, huh. What do I say? Am I supposed to be thrilled? And that's not good for you people, especially as governors. It's just not right. And we have many deals like that."

He said the US gets "zero" when it buys an Indian motorcycle.

"So when they have a motorbike - a big number, by the way - they have a company that does a lot of business. They have a motorcycle or a motorbike that comes into our country - the number is zero. We get zero. They get 100%, brought down to 75; brought down, now, to 50. Okay," Trump said.

"It's a great company. When I spoke with your chairman or the president of Harley, they weren't even asking for it because they've been ripped off with the trade so long that they were surprised that I brought it up. I'm the one that's pushing it more than they are, but it's unfair. And India sells us a lot of motorbikes," Trump said.

This is for the second time in a month that Trump raised the issue of high import duty on motorcycles by India.

Earlier, he had called it "unfair" and threatened to increase the tariff on import of Indian motorcycles to the US.
