Modi Urges Indians to Buy Local Goods After Trump Tariffs

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to buy locally made goods to cushion the economy during heightened global uncertainty.

The comments came days after Trump slapped a 25% tariff on Indian exports to the US and imposed higher duties on several countries, stoking concerns about a slowdown in global growth and market volatility. He didn’t refer to US tariffs directly in his speech at a rally in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.
