Navarro has a peculiar gift: he can wake up in Washington and make headlines in Delhi before breakfast. He has called India the “maharaja of tariffs.” He has blamed Narendra Modi for the Ukraine war. He has even claimed that “Brahmins are profiteering at the expense of the Indian people” by reselling Russian crude. Navarro long ago discovered that if he insults India loudly enough, someone will amplify it across the Indian press.
