Rajnath Singh’s Strongest Message to Trump as Tariffs Take Effect

At the ‘Ran Samwad’ event in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh underlined the importance of Make in India, asserting that self-reliance has become India’s global identity. His remarks were seen as a strong signal to Donald Trump that India will not bow to tariff pressure. With Trump’s additional 50% tariffs now in force, Singh’s message gains weight, echoing PM Modi’s assurance from Gujarat a day earlier that his government will shield India from the impact of tariffs.
