American advisor Peter Navarro stirred controversy at the SCO summit, accusing Indian Brahmins of profiteering from Russian oil, slamming India’s 50% tariff policy, and calling Modi’s Russia-China ties a global stability threat.
International News: US trade adviser Peter Navarro has made a controversial statement about India and Prime Minister Modi. He accused Indian Brahmins of profiting from oil purchases from Russia and also justified the 50% tariff imposed on India by US President Trump. At the same time, Navarro described the closeness of Prime Minister Modi, Russian President Putin and China as a major threat to the world order and raised the question of why India, when it is the world's largest democracy, is maintaining such relations.

Navarro's statement came during Prime Minister Modi's visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, where he met leaders of Russia and China. He said Indian refineries buy Russian oil at affordable rates, process it and then sell it to Europe, Africa and Asia to make a profit. Navarro described this process as against the economic interests of the Indian people and warned that American workers, taxpayers and the people of Ukraine are being affected by it. In his statement, Peter Navarro also called India the "tariff king" in global trade.
