India has denied that Donald Trump and Modi held a phone call regarding New Delhi's purchase of Russian oil. On Thursday, the MEA contested the US president's claim and said no such conversation took place.

Earlier today, the external affairs ministry issued a statement regarding India's energy sourcing and said that the interests of the Indian consumer will be a priority amid the volatile energy scenario.

"India is a significant importer of oil and gas. It has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective," spokesperson Jaiswal said in a statement on Thursday.

This after US president Donald Trump claimed that he had been assured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that India had agreed to stop its purchase of Russian oil.
