Trump's Trade Adviser Navarro Calls India "Maharaja In Tariffs" for Russian Oil

US President Donald Trump's Adviser Peter Navarro slammed India for buying Russian oil, calling the country a “laundromat” for Moscow’s crude. He accused Indian refiners of profiting from the war in Ukraine while ignoring global efforts to isolate Russia. Navarro warned that the US will not extend the August 27 deadline for imposing 50% tariffs on Indian oil imports, signalling tougher economic measures if India continues its Russian trade. He also suggested India is aligning closely with China, undermining international pressure on Moscow. Navarro’s comments mark the latest friction between the US and India over energy trade and the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Indian EAM Jaishankar, during his Moscow visit, clarified India is not the biggest purchaser of Russian oil; China is.
