The Advisor of the White House for Trade Peter Navarro emphasized in an article published on Monday in the Financial Times that, buying Russian oil, India finance the Kremlin's war machine. He demanded that they stop doing this.
Indian oil import undergoes efforts to insulate Russia, “Navarro said, indicating that currently India” crashes to both Russia and China. “
“If India wants to be treated as a US strategic partner, they should begin to behave properly,” he wrote. He also assessed as risky transferring the latest military technologies to India by American companies.
In the text published on Monday, Navarro also stated that India acts as a “global settlement center for Russian oil”, providing Moscow with “its dollars” – he wrote.
A week ago, Navarro told journalists that when importing Indian products, the US is dollar dollars, whose country “uses to buy Russian oil”, and Russia “finances from them armament for killing Ukrainians.” Meanwhile, American taxpayers bear the costs of weapons, which is to be used to protect the population of Ukraine against Russian weapons – he explained.
According to Times of India, Navarro summed up these words by saying that “this mathematics does not work”.
At the beginning of August, US President Donald Trump imposed an additional duties of 25 percent. to goods imported from India (which raised duties to a total of 50 percent), justifying this step by buying Russian oil by New Delhi.
The Reuters agency reminded that a visit of American negotiators in New Delhi (it was planned for August 25-29) was canceled, which destroyed the hopes for the rapid abolition of additional US duties. (PAP) OS/ AKL/
