This comes after President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on India to 50% due to India&#8217;s continued purchases of Russian oil amid the ukraine war. Trump criticized india for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/surging-inflation-and-the-looming-recession\/\" title=\"Surging Inflation and the Looming Recession\">buying large amounts<\/a> of Russian oil and reselling it for profit, framing the tariffs as a pressure tactic against Russia. Despite the tariffs,Indian officials have indicated thier intent to continue buying Russian oil. The move has strained U.S.-India relations,with opposition leaders in India condemning the tariffs as economic blackmail. meanwhile, Modi is seeking to strengthen ties with China and othre global leaders such as Brazil&#8217;s president, as India navigates its <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >complex international relationships amid<\/a> these trade tensions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Indian prime minister says he is ready to &lsquo;pay a big price&rsquo; to face tariffs<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2198846\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Indian<\/a> Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/narendra-modi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Narendra Modi <\/a>said he is &ldquo;ready to pay a big price&rdquo; and pledged to back India&rsquo;s farmers amid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/3492191\/trump-india-tariff-russian-oil-ukraine-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">increased <\/a>U.S. tariffs on his country.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump doubled U.S. tariffs on India to 50% on Wednesday over the country&rsquo;s purchases of Russian oil.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3493267\/senior-eu-official-suggests-israel-gaza-genocide\/\">Senior EU official suggests Israel&#8217;s war in Gaza &#8216;looks very much&#8217; like &#8216;genocide&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3492919\/japan-commemorates-80-years-atomic-bombing-hiroshima\/\">Japan commemorates 80 years since atomic bombing of Hiroshima<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3492731\/putin-trump-meeting-next-week-ukraine-zelensky\/\">Trump to meet with Putin as soon as next week<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I know that I might have to pay a big price for this,&rdquo; Modi said in New Delhi on Thursday. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;m ready for the sake of India&rsquo;s farmers, fishermen, and livestock keepers.
