Amid the ongoing controversy over the imposition of 50 percent duty on imports from India by US President Donald Trump, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday termed India’s economy as the world’s most ‘domineering and dynamic’ economy and said that some countries that have a sense of ‘everyone’s boss to we’ are not getting this.
Rajnath Singh attacked Trump indirectly, saying that some “bosses” are burning at the fast growth rate of India and are trying to disrupt the country’s economy. He said, “Some people are not happy with the rapid progress of India. They do not like it. ‘Everyone’s boss is we’, so how is India growing so fast?”
America’s 50 percent tariff on India
The US has recently imposed a 25% fee and an additional 25% penalty on Indian goods, as India is continuing to buy oil from Russia. The step was taken after Washington’s allegation that India is funding the war efforts of Russia. Along with this, the US President described India’s economy as “dead” and threatened to increase the fee further.

Trying to stop India’s economy
Rajnath Singh said, “Some countries want the products made in India, the things prepared with Indian hands, become expensive than the rest of the countries, so that the world stops buying them when the price rises.” He expressed confidence that now no power in the world can stop India from becoming a major global power.
Strengthening of defense exports
Describing the defense sector as an example of India’s strength, the Defense Minister said, “We are exporting defense products worth more than Rs 24,000 crore. It is the new defense sector of new India and exports are continuously increasing.” He clarified that the tariff dispute has not affected the region.
