Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the imposition of US tariffs and the broader global economic landscape in Ahmedabad. He called for a ‘swadeshi’ campaign, urging businesses to promote locally-made goods during the upcoming festive season. Modi highlighted the challenges of navigating a world driven by economic self-interest and emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting small business owners, farmers, and livestock rearers. He stated that the nation would bolster its strength to withstand any external pressures. The comments follow the implementation of US tariffs on India and are likely a response to the US’s strategy to curb India’s trade with Russia.
