White House trade advisor Peter Navarro has renewed his criticism of India, questioning why Americans are paying for Artificial Intelligence in India. ADVERTISEMENTIn an interview on Real America’s Voice, Navarro said, “…It’s like, why are Americans paying for AI in India? So that's another issue that's got to be dealt with." In a wider attack on BRICS nations, Navarro said the “bottom line” is that none of the countries in the grouping can “survive if they don't sell to the United States. And when they sell to the United States, their exports, they're like vampires sucking our blood dry with their unfair trade practices."
