Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated he will not compromise on the interests of farmers, livestock rearers, and fishermen, even if it means facing heavy personal or national costs. His statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods in response to India’s continued import of Russian crude oil. India’s foreign ministry condemned the move as unjust and reiterated its commitment to national energy security and protecting the livelihoods of 1.4 billion citizens.
