White House’s Navarro Calls Europe’s Russian Oil Buys ‘Insanity’

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday described Europe’s ongoing purchases of Russian oil as “insanity,” underscoring Washington’s frustration with the region’s continued energy reliance on Moscow. Speaking in an interview with Fox Business on 25 Aug. 2025, Navarro did not outline specific U.S. policy responses but said the transactions run counter to broader Western efforts to limit Russia’s revenue from fossil-fuel exports.
