‘Will Not Compromise,’ Modi Slams US Tariffs, Says, ‘Ready To Pay the Price For India’s Farmers’

Trump Tariffs On India: Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a clear message amid rising trade tensions with the US, saying India will never compromise on the interests of its farmers, fishermen, and dairy sector — even if it means paying a heavy price on a ‘personal level’. His remarks come in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a steep 50% tariff on Indian exports, widely seen as retaliation for India's continued purchase of Russian oil and military equipment. As trade talks stall and bilateral ties face new friction, the Modi government stands its ground, putting national and agricultural interests first.
