Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro has once again lashed out at India, reviving his charge that New Delhi has become a “money laundromat for the Kremlin.” In a series of social media posts, Navarro accused India of snapping up discounted Russian crude, refining it, and exporting fuels worldwide. According to Navarro, the profits are helping fund Russia’s war in Ukraine.

This is not the first time Navarro has used the “laundromat” label. His renewed tirade comes just as Donald Trump’s 50% tariff onslaught on Indian goods take effect, doubling existing penalties tied to Russian oil purchases.

Against this fraught backdrop, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a pivotal eastward swing. After Japan, he heads to China for the SCO summit, where Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif will all be under the same roof.

As Trump’s tariff shockwaves ripple across geopolitics, the question looms large: how should New Delhi recalibrate its next move?
