The distance between America and india has increased. US President donald trump is not happy with it. Meanwhile, the reaction of white house trade advisor Peter Navarro has come to the fore. He has once again blamed india for buying oil. Navarro said that the ukraine war is getting funding because of India. He directly blamed india for buying oil from Russia.
White house trade advisor Navarro, in an article written for 'The Financial Times' on monday (August 18), accused india of acting as a global clearing house for Russian oil by turning banned crude oil into high-value exports.
Navarro said, "India's dependence on Russian crude oil is opportunistic and extremely detrimental to the world's efforts to isolate Putin's war economy." He said, "In fact, india acts as a global 'clearing house' for Russian oil. By converting banned crude oil into high-tariff exports, it gives russia the dollars it needs."
India accused of supporting russia in the war
Navarro said, "With India's financial support, russia is constantly attacking ukraine, so American (and European) taxpayers are forced to spend billions of dollars more to help defend Ukraine. For all these reasons, india is closing the doors to American exports through higher tariffs and trade barriers."
America's false claim - india charges higher tariffs
He has said that india imposes the highest tariffs in the world on average. It also erects non-tariff barriers. This harms American workers and companies. "As a result, America's trade deficit with india has reached around $ 50 billion annually. And the biggest thing is that india is using those American trade dollars to buy Russian oil," Navarro said.
