Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn a clear red line. Despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50 per cent tariff on Indian exports, PM Modi says India will not compromise — especially not on the interests of its farmers. The tariff move, linked to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, marks a sharp escalation in the trade standoff between the two countries. PM Modi’s comments come after five rounds of failed negotiations, where Trump demanded sweeping concessions — including unrestricted access to India’s agricultural markets. India said no. This is the inside story of how a trade deal broke down — and why India chose strategic autonomy over pressure from Washington.
