LIVE: Trump Advisor Navarro Lambasts PM Modi After SCO Summit, Says, ‘They Should Engage With Us’
In a heated reaction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit held in Tianjin, China, on August 31-September 1, 2025, Peter Navarro, senior trade advisor to US President Donald Trump, sharply criticized Modi for engaging with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Navarro, speaking on Fox News and in various interviews, expressed bewilderment at Modi’s alignment with these leaders, stating, "Modi’s a great leader… I don’t understand why he’s getting into bed with Putin and Xi Jinping when he’s [leading] the greatest democracy in the world." He accused Indian elites, specifically referencing "Brahmins profiting at the expense of the Indian people" through discounted Russian oil purchases that allegedly fund the Ukraine war, and urged Indians to "shake up the regime" to prioritize engagement with the US. This outburst comes amid escalating US-India trade tensions, including a recent 50% tariff on Indian goods, and highlights the strain in Trump-Modi relations, exacerbated by India’s strategic non-alignment and continued oil imports from Russia despite Western sanctions. The comments have sparked backlash in India for invoking caste divisions and interfering in domestic affairs, while underscoring India’s deepening ties with Russia and China as a counter to US protectionism.
