India is slapping back at the United States with new tariffs on $240 million worth of American goods starting Sunday.

Apples, almonds, lentils, walnuts and some chemical products will be hit with levies of up to 70 percent.

The long-threatened move is retaliation for President Trump’s move to take away India’s preferred trade status, which he made two weeks ago over objections to its protectionist policies.

The tariffs come just days ahead of a scheduled meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G-20 summit.
