Peter Navarro raises concerns over AI, farmland, and food inflation

Key Highlights

• “If we’re going to fight food inflation, we’ve got to wrap our heads around that,” Navarro said.
• Navarro’s comments come amid ongoing friction between India and the US over Trump’s 50 per cent tariffs on New Delhi over continued buying of Russian oil, and a continued deadlock over a trade deal.
• Navarro pointed out that although policymakers in the White House and Executive Office of the President are actively working on related policy measures, no results are visible.
• He also linked the economic discussions to upcoming elections, suggesting that addressing such issues could impact the political landscape and challenge Democratic strategies in key states.
• Navarro claimed that India was fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine by continuing to import discounted Russian crude oil, a claim that prompted Trump to consider imposing 25 percent tariffs on India.
