White House trade advisor Peter Navarro has warned India over high tariffs and its growing energy ties with Russia. He called India the “Maharajah of tariffs” and said the country must “come around” in trade talks with the US or face consequences. Navarro claimed India is “profiteering” from cheap Russian oil and warned, “It won’t end well.” He contrasted India with US allies like Japan and the EU, which signed trade deals with Washington. His comments follow President Trump’s move to raise tariffs on Indian imports to 50%. Navarro’s repeated remarks have sparked pushback and fact-checks online. (PC: HT)
