U.S. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro<\/a> on Sunday (September 14, 2025) claimed in an interview with CNBC that India was coming to the negotiating table.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia is coming to the table. Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent out a very conciliatory, nice, constructive tweet, and President Trump responded to that. We\u2019ll see how this works,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Mr. Navarro said in the interview that the countries are still negotiating on the trade issue, and are working on \u2018trade barriers\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as a practical matter, we know that on the trade side, they have the highest tariffs of any major country. They have very high non-tariff barriers. We had to deal with that, like we\u2019re dealing with every other country that does that,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Mr. Navarro further highlighted the issue the U.S. has with India buying Russian oil after 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd by the way, there\u2019s this issue of India buying Russian oil, which it never did. You understand this. It never did that before 2022. I mean, the Indian refiners got in bed with the Russian refiners immediately after the invasion, and they\u2019re making out like bandits. I mean, it\u2019s like it\u2019s crazy stuff because they make money off of us in unfair trade. Okay, so American workers get screwed, right?\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr. Navarro then criticised India for its ties with Russia and China.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen they use that money to buy Russian oil, and then the Russians use that to buy weapons. And then we, as taxpayers, have to pay more for this, for the defence of Ukraine. And so how can that be? And watching Modi on a stage with China, which has been its long-term existential threat. And Putin, that was an interesting stretch. I don\u2019t think he felt comfortable doing it,\u201d he said in the interview with CNBC.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for South and Central Asia Brendan Lynch is arriving in India<\/a> on Tuesday (September 16, 2025) and will continue talks on a Bilateral Trade Agreement with the Indian counterpart, a government official said. U.S.-India trade talks are scheduled to be held on Tuesday, the official added.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s chief negotiator and Special Secretary in the Department of Commerce is Rajesh Agrawal.<\/p>\n
