Скачать или смотреть India Rejects Trump’s Claim on Russian Oil; No Call Between Modi and Trump, Says MEA

US President Donald Trump recently claimed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured him that India would stop buying oil from Russia. Trump made the statement during a White House press conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, adding that “Modi loves Trump,” but joked that he didn’t want to hurt Modi’s political career by saying it aloud.

Trump stated that India’s decision to halt Russian oil imports is already “in progress” and would be completed soon. He also said the US was working to get China to follow the same path, as part of broader efforts to choke Russia’s oil revenue amid the Ukraine war.

However, India has now officially rejected this claim.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clarified that no phone call took place between PM Modi and Donald Trump in the last 24 hours. Earlier in the day, India issued a statement without directly addressing Russian oil purchases, but reiterated its commitment to diversifying its energy imports.

Trump also praised India’s political stability under Modi, contrasting it with frequent leadership changes in previous decades.
