India's import of Russian crude oil is accused of funding Moscow's war in Ukraine by White House trade adviser Peter Navarro. He claims India's purchases help the Kremlin while undermining global isolation efforts. Over 30% of India's fuel comes from Russia, making it the second-largest buyer after China. The U.S. imposed tariffs on Indian goods, worsening bilateral relations. Prime Minister Modi pledged to protect farmers' interests against these tariffs and emphasized India's defense partnerships with Russia amid enhancing U.S. relations.
