Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a strong response to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose 50% tariffs on Indian imports, which was caused by India's continued purchases of Russian oil. Speaking at the International Century Conference of MS Swaminathan in New Delhi, Modi emphasized India's unwavering commitment to the agricultural sector.

> "For us, the interests of our farmers are our top priority. India will never compromise the interests of farmers, fishermen, and dairy cattle breeders. I know we will have to pay a high price for this, and I am ready for it. India is ready for it," Modi said. [1]

This statement underscores India's position on protecting domestic agricultural interests, even in the face of escalating trade tensions with the United States.

The U.S. administration linked higher tariffs to national security concerns, pointing to India's oil trade with Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In response, India criticized this move as unfair, noting that other countries, including members of the European Union, continue similar trade practices without facing comparable penalties.
