Maybe I had a little bit to do with that with that op-ed, but I can tell you, I got actually firebombed by the Indian continent on the internet. All I would say to you, don’t do that,” he added.Navarro, however, said the issue would ultimately be handled by Trump and Modi themselves.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines“That’s not how we resolve problems here in America. With respect to your question, the President and your Prime Minister have a very good working relationship. They are going to work that out amongst themselves, and it’s not for me or any gaggle to get between that,” he said.His remarks come amid renewed concerns in India over possible US trade measures targeting countries that continue to purchase Russian energy.Earlier on August 7, the US Senate passed the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 by an 86-11 vote. The bipartisan legislation would give the US president discretionary authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that are among the top five buyers of Russian crude oil or natural gas.India and China remain among the largest buyers of Russian crude.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

It said the move amounted to an attempt to dictate India’s energy choices.“No country has the right to dictate India’s energy security and sovereign trade policy,” SJM national co-convenor Ashwani Mahajan said, adding that India’s Russian crude purchases were driven by price, availability, supply diversification and consumer interests.SJM said the proposed measure assumed greater significance with India and the US engaged in negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement, arguing that talks “cannot be conducted on gun point”.It also urged the Centre to reconsider two recent policy moves which it claimed favoured US companies — changes allowing FDI e-commerce entities greater flexibility over inventory for exports and an amendment enabling merchant discount rate on certain UPI transactions.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesGoing further, SJM called for a ban on US tech and social media companies if Washington pursued what it termed “unilateral economic coercion”.
