US Trade Adviser Questions AI Power Use Amid US-India Trade Tensions

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has criticized the use of American electricity to power AI platforms like ChatGPT that serve large user bases in India and other countries, questioning why US consumers bear these costs. His remarks come amid ongoing US-India trade tensions, including Trump's 50% tariffs on Indian goods over Russian oil purchases. Navarro also raised concerns about foreign purchases of US farmland potentially impacting food prices. India has rejected Navarro's statements, emphasizing its energy policies and disputing the tariffs' fairness.
