Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India will protect its farmers, even if it means facing high US tariffs. His comments came after President Trump raised tariffs on Indian goods to 50% due to India buying oil from Russia. Modi said, “India will not compromise on farmers’ interests. I’m ready to pay the price.” India called the US move unfair and said it will take all steps to protect national interests. The tariff hike has strained US-India ties. Talks on a trade deal have also failed. Sectors like textiles and food exports could be hit if the issue continues. (PC: AFP)
