Tensions escalate between the United States and India over New Delhi’s trade with Russia. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro has sharply criticized India for purchasing discounted Russian crude oil, labelling the country a ‘Maharaj’ in tariffs and accusing it of running a ‘refining profiteering scheme’. The US has threatened to double tariffs on Indian goods, with a potential increase to 50% by August 27th. Navarro stated, "what you’re doing right now is not creating peace. It’s perpetuating the war." In response, analysis points to a ‘double standard’ from the US, which continues its own trade with Russia in certain sectors. The discussion highlights India’s position that its oil purchases are crucial for its energy security and have helped stabilize global prices. These developments are seen as potentially harming the long-term US-India strategic partnership in the Indo-Pacific.
