Donald Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro has criticised India over its ties with Russia and China. “India, you are getting in bed with authoritarians. China invaded Aksai Chin and all your territory. They are not your friends,” Navarro told Bloomberg TV. He also claimed the Ukraine conflict is “Modi’s war”, adding, “The road to peace runs, in part, through New Delhi.” Navarro accused India of feeding Russia’s war machine by buying discounted oil and selling it abroad. He said US tariffs on India, now at 50%, will be lifted only if New Delhi stops importing Russian crude. (PC: Reuters)
