India can get 25% off its tariffs if New Delhi stops buying Russian oil, says White House trade adviser Peter Navarro

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has branded the Ukraine conflict “Modis war,” claiming Indias discounted oil purchases from Russia bankroll Moscows invasion and raise costs for American taxpayers. His remarks came as US tariffs on Indian goods doubled to 50 percent, affecting more than half of exports. India insists its energy security comes first and rejects US pressure. The escalation threatens jobs, trade ties and Indias export competitiveness, even as businesses brace for short-term pain and look for new markets.
