Trump says Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil
President Donald Trump announced today that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to halt the purchase of Russian oil, a move that signals growing international pressure on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine.
During a phone call between the two leaders, Trump thanked Modi for his commitment to phase out the import of Russian oil in support of Ukraine and as a means to isolate Russia economically. Trump praised India for taking a strong stance against Russian aggression and expressed confidence in both countries working together to address the energy needs that may arise from this decision.
India, heavily reliant on oil imports to fuel its economy, has traditionally been one of the largest buyers of Russian oil. However, faced with mounting global condemnation of Russia’s military actions, Modi’s government has been under increasing pressure to distance itself from Moscow.
The decision to stop buying Russian oil comes amidst widespread international sanctions against Russia and calls for countries to sever economic ties with the Kremlin. India’s move is expected to have significant implications for its energy sector as it seeks alternative sources to meet its oil demands.
While the White House welcomed Modi’s decision, Russian officials have not yet responded to the announcement. Trump’s statement marks a significant development in the efforts to isolate Russia economically and politically in the wake of its military intervention in Ukraine.
