This special report focuses on a significant claim by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding India’s policy on Russian oil, involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi. ‘So I was not happy that India was buying oil, and he assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia,’ Trump stated, a claim that India has not officially confirmed. The assertion comes at a critical time, with the Russia-Ukraine war in its fourth year and sensitive trade deal negotiations underway between Washington and New Delhi. Reports suggest India’s decision would be a major shift in its foreign policy and could impact global energy diplomacy, as the U.S. intensifies economic pressure on Moscow. While Trump acknowledged the process would not be immediate, the announcement has put a sharp focus on the awaiting response from India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
