U.S. Trade Advisor Issues Warning to India: Avoid Allegiance to Russia to Avoid Unfavorable Outcome
Peter Navarro, the White House trade advisor, has been vocal about the US's international trade relations, particularly in relation to India, China, and the BRICS countries.
In an interview on "Real America's Voice," Navarro referred to India as the "Maharajah" of tariffs, expressing concern that India may be "lying down with Russia and China," a move he believes is not in India's best interest. Navarro also suggested that India should stop buying Russian oil to contribute to global peace, a stance he also took towards Europe, urging them to cease purchases of Russian oil for the same reason.
Navarro highlighted the US's high tariffs on China, stating that the country is working to protect American people without causing harm to them. He also mentioned that trade talks with India "won't end well" unless India changes its stance. Navarro claimed that the US has been taking advantage of by these countries, and that they need American markets. He compared the BRICS countries' exports to the US as vampires, draining the country's resources due to unfair trade practices.
Navarro did not provide specific details on the "Kabuki and the art of diplomacy" he referred to, but expressed trust in former President Trump's diplomatic abilities. He also claimed that India had never purchased significant amounts of oil from Russia before the invasion of Ukraine.
Regarding the US's trade relations with the European Union, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Indonesia, Navarro did not make any new claims, but mentioned these countries as part of the US's trade deals. He also mentioned China as the largest purchaser of Russian oil, but did not elaborate on additional sanctions on China.
The search results do not specify which countries Peter Navarro has mentioned as potential trading partners for the United States. Navarro questioned the longevity of the alliance between the BRICS countries, stating that they would not survive without selling to the US. He also stated that American taxpayers contribute more money to the war when the US enters into profitable deals with Russian refiners in India.
