Trump Aide Navarro Says He Was 'Firebombed' By Indians Over Russian Oil Comments · thequint.com

A man named Peter Navarro helps former President Donald Trump.

Mr. Navarro wrote an article in a big newspaper called the Financial Times.

In the article, he said India buys cheap oil from Russia, which is fighting a war with Ukraine.

He said India turns that oil into fuel and sells it for more money.

He said this helps Russia keep fighting its war.

He also said some strong words, like calling the war "Modi's war" and saying that "Brahmins are profiteering."

Many people in India got very angry at him for writing these things.

He says Indian users on the internet "firebombed" him, which means they flooded him with angry messages.
