Modi Tells Country to Buy Indian in Face of Trump's Tariffs

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged Indians to opt for homegrown products as the coutry's industries come under threat from U.S. President Donald Trump's steep tariffs. During a speech on Monday, translated by Indian news outlet Firstpost, Modi encouraged citizens to adopt the "mantra" that whatever they purchase must be "made in India."

"I appeal to the citizens of our country to prioritize purchasing goods that are made in India," Modi said. "Whether it's decorative items or gifts, let us choose products manufactured within our own nation."

Modi has repeated these comments in several speeches over the past few days, while also urging businesses to display "made in India" signs outside stores, the BBC reports.
