Rajnath Singh Takes Dig at Donald Trump over Tariffs: 'They Think that We Are Everyone's boss...'

INDIA, AUG 10 – India's defence exports have surged from Rs 600 crore in 2014 to over Rs 24,000 crore, as Rajnath Singh highlights challenges posed by US tariffs amid trade tensions.

  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh criticized the US tariffs doubling and called out efforts to make India-made products expensive during a 2025 event in Madhya Pradesh.
  • The tariffs followed US allegations over India's Russian oil purchases and sparked Singh's claim that global powers envy India's rapid economic and defence growth.
  • Singh highlighted India's rise from Rs 600 crore defence exports in 2014 to over Rs 24,000 crore now, linking this to self-reliance and indigenous equipment aiding operations like Sindoor.
  • He highlighted that India’s economy is vibrant and rapidly expanding at approximately 6.3% each year, placing the country among the top four largest economies globally, and confidently proclaimed that no global force can prevent India from rising as a leading power.
  • Singh asserted India seeks global welfare but will not tolerate provocation, pledging retaliation against instigators and emphasizing rapid national development despite criticism.
