Welfare of farmers, youth top priority,' PM Modi states amid trade tensions with U.S
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing growing trade friction with the United States, conveyed a strong and unwavering message: India will prioritize the welfare of its farmers, youth, and small industries above all. Against a backdrop of rising global economic instability and a proposed 25% tariff on Indian imports by the U.S., Modi underscored that India's farmers and small businesses remain central to the government's policy. According to Prime Minister Modi, 'Our farmers, our small-scale industries, the employment for youth — their interest is our top priority,' a statement delivered amidst escalating U.S. tariff threats. India's trade minister Piyush Goyal reiterated the same stance in parliament, saying India would not make trade concessions that harm its agricultural sector. In addition to defending domestic economic interests, Modi also called on citizens and businesses to support indigenous production by embracing the 'Vocal for Local' ethos. 'We should buy products made by Indians,' he said, urging everyone to put aside political differences to champion India-made goods. Amid rising tensions, economic analysts and insiders affirmed that most Indian exports will remain unaffected by U.S. measures, with any impact on GDP expected to be minimal, projected at under 0.2%. Modi concluded by reiterating that India is poised to become the world's third-largest economy, but to achieve that vision, the country must stay vigilant and resilient in protecting national interests, especially during turbulent global times.

India Won't Bow to 'Bully' Trump's Tariff Threats, Says Ex-Diplomat Rajiv Dogra in Fiery Rebuttal
/ Aug 02, 2025, 03:21PM IST Ex-diplomat Rajiv Dogra fiercely rebukes the former US President's 25% tariff threat against India. Calling Trump "a bully of a rare kind," Dogra says India will not yield to hollow intimidation. The warning comes after Trump announced penalties over India's trade ties with Russia, while ignoring similar dealings by Turkey. In a striking declaration of India's strategic autonomy, Dogra reminded Washington that New Delhi does not depend on the US for exports. He slammed the hypocrisy of selective sanctions and dismissed White House claims of mediation during Operation Sindoor. 'India makes its own decisions,' he said, urging the government to remain firm amid rising trade and geopolitical pressure. As the Indo-US equation enters turbulent waters, India's message is clear: it will chart its course, even if it means weathering the storm.#rajivdogra #donaldtrump #usindiatradetensions #trumpmodi #operationSindoor #indianexports #trumptariffthreat #indianpolitics #strategicautonomy #geopolitics #modivstrump #indiarussia #usforeignpolicy #globaltrade #trumpnews #india #breakingnews #trending #bharat #toi #toibharat #indianews
