Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took a sharp dig at former U.S. President Donald Trump over the recently imposed 25% tariffs on Indian goods, calling him “Sabke Boss” who “couldn’t accept India’s rise.” Speaking at a public event, Singh criticized Trump’s punitive trade measures, suggesting they stem from discomfort with India’s growing global stature. The comment comes amid escalating tensions following Trump’s announcement of additional penalties targeting India’s energy and defense ties with Russia. Singh’s remarks reflect India’s frustration with what it views as unfair economic coercion. The statement has sparked political debate, with opposition leaders also questioning the Modi government’s handling of foreign relations and trade diplomacy. (PC: NDTV)
