India Defies US Tariffs, Prioritizes Farmers' Interests | JQJO

India is defying US attempts to dictate its trade policies, rejecting demands to import American GM crops and duty-free farm products. President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Indian exports, citing India's purchase of Russian oil. India's government and opposition strongly criticized the tariffs, calling them unfair and coercive. Prime Minister Modi stated he's willing to pay a heavy price to protect Indian farmers. While the economic impact will be significant, India maintains its stance, prioritizing national interests and exploring alternative trade partnerships.
