Peter Navarro claims backlash over criticism of India's Russian oil purchases

Peter Navarro, a former aide to Donald Trump, recently claimed that he was firebombed by online critics following the publication of an op-ed. In his writing, Navarro accused India of funding the Russian war machine through its continued purchase of Russian oil. He also described facing nasty attacks in response to his public criticism of Indian trade policies.

Indian officials have categorically rejected Navarro's allegations regarding the country's role in the Russian oil trade. Navarro has a history of criticizing India, having previously labeled the nation the Maharaja of tariffs while advocating for United States trade measures.
