Here We Go Again ! "Modi Loves Trump..." I Trump's Newest Salvo on India & Russia Oil I Barkha

#modi #trump #india In a recent Oval Office meeting, Donald Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “great man” and a “friend,” while emphasising the remarkable longevity of Modi’s leadership in India. Trump also made a surprising claim, asserting that Modi had pledged that “India would cease purchasing oil from Russia”—a move he described as “a big step” in pressuring Moscow amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. This assertion surfaced amid escalating tension between the U.S. and India over New Delhi’s reliance on discounted Russian crude. Trump’s comments come after Washington imposed steep tariffs—raising duties on Indian exports to 50%—citing India’s continued oil trade with Russia as a key grievance. In response, India’s Ministry of External Affairs stated that the country’s energy procurement decisions are guided by economic and strategic interests, not political pressure, and that ensuring stable supplies and affordable prices for Indian consumers remains its top priority. Meanwhile, India’s major oil refiners have indicated that while they are exploring alternative sources, any reduction in Russian crude imports would be gradual due to cost concerns. It's more drama in Trump's era.
