White House trade adviser Peter Navarro criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for cozying up to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping during the SCO summit in Tianjin, calling it "shameful" for the leader of the world's largest democracy to embrace two authoritarian figures . Navarro accused India of funding Moscow’s war through continued purchases of discounted Russian crude and implied that Indian refiners profit heavily by exporting refined oil globally . He implored Modi to align with the U.S., Europe, and Ukraine instead, and warned that India must reconsider its strategic choices. (PC: Reuters)
