Trump says Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil
In a move to pressure Russia amid the Ukraine war, Trump claims Modi will stop buying Russian oil, aiming to cut Moscow's energy funding. Trump received assurances from Modi to cease purchases, aiming for a swift transition, despite India's large stake in Russian oil imports. The push for India to halt Russian oil purchases comes amidst Trump's broader strategy to cease Moscow's energy funding, with China also being targeted for similar actions.
