US Trade Adviser Questions American Subsidy of AI Services Used in India Amid Tensions

White House trade advisor Peter Navarro has renewed criticism of India amid strained US-India relations, questioning why Americans are effectively subsidizing artificial intelligence (AI) services used in India. Navarro highlighted that platforms like ChatGPT operate on US soil using American electricity while serving large user bases abroad, raising concerns about trade fairness and rising energy costs. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions over tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Indian imports, particularly linked to India's purchase of Russian oil. India maintains its policies are based on national interests and rejects Navarro's claims.
