August 29, 2025"The Indians are so arrogant about this. They say it’s our sovereignty, we can buy oil from anyone. India, you’re the biggest democracy in the world. Okay? Act like one. Side with the democracies," Navarro said.
August 28, 2025India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) rejected the charge, calling Washington’s move “extremely unfortunate.”
August 28, 2025He noted that before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, India imported less than one per cent of its crude from Moscow.
August 22, 2025Navarro further alleged that India is “cosying up” to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning that New Delhi’s current policies are not fostering peace but instead “perpetuating the war.”
August 22, 2025Despite his criticism, Navarro praised India’s leadership, stressing that “the road to peace runs through New Delhi.”
August 22, 2025He clarified that the tariffs on India, which were hiked to 50 per cent, stem from a national security concern linked to India’s continued oil imports from Russia, despite U.S. requests to halt them.
