This statement of PM Narendra Modi has come after reports that India has refused to open its market for US agriculture and dairy products. According to sources, this is why the trade agreement between the US and India could not be reached. Sources had informed the media that Donald Trump was pressurizing India’s markets to open US agriculture and dairy products. Now PM Modi has clearly stated that no matter how much loss, his government will also take all possible steps to protect these areas.
Earlier, Modi government’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan also clearly stated that no compromise will be made on India’s interests while making a trade agreement with America. It was only after this statement of both of them that US President Donald Trump started threatening India to impose tariffs. After this, Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariff on India and then increased this tariff to 50 percent by accusing him of buying crude oil from Russia. Now after PM Modi’s statement about the interest of farmers, fishermen and dairy producers, it is an eye on what Donald Trump’s reaction is. Let us know that four rounds of talks have been held on the trade agreement between India and America. The US delegation is coming to India on August 25 for the fifth round of talks.
