US President Donald Trump’s aide Peter Navarro has once again targeted India over tariffs and Russian oil, saying India is coming to the table.
Peter Navarro, the White House Trade Advisor, made the remarks in an interview with CNBC International on Monday, 15 September.
“India is coming to the table…On the trade side, they have very high tariffs. They have very high non-tariff barriers. We had to deal with that, like we are dealing with every other country that does that,” said Navarro.
He added, “And by the way, there’s this issue of India buying Russian oil, which it never did. You understand this. It never did that before 2022.”
“They make money off us via unfair trade, and many workers get screwed,” claimed Trump’s aide. “They use that money to buy Russian oil, and Russians use that to buy weapons.”
