Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has hit out at US President Donald Trump’s record-high tariffs on Indian goods, accusing global powers of practicing 'dadagiri', or bullying, through economic might and technological superiority. His fiery remarks came as Washington raised total duties on Indian exports to 50%, the steepest in history, targeting textiles, gems, pharmaceuticals, and auto parts. Linking the move to India’s Russian oil purchases, the US has suspended trade talks and warned of more sanctions. Gadkari urged India to ramp up exports, slash imports, and master cutting-edge technology to achieve self-reliance. PM Modi vowed to protect farmers, fishermen, and dairy workers “even at a heavy price,” while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh accused the US of trying to make Indian products unaffordable. India has called the tariffs “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable,” signalling a new phase in the India-US trade battle.#nitingadkari #donaldtrump #usindiatradewar #ustariffsonindia #trumptariffoffensive #indiausrelations #recordhighustariffs #indiaeconomicselfreliance #makeinindia #indianexportstrategy #indiausdiplomaticrift #ussanctionsthreat #russianoilimports #modiontradewar #rajnathsingh #sabkabossremark #indianeconomy #tradetensions #globaltradepolitics #indiadefenceoffarmers #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews
