India casts doubt on Trump’s claim Modi will stop buying Russian oil
India has raised doubts regarding President Trump’s recent claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assured him that India would be stopping its purchase of Russian oil.
The statement made by President Trump came during a press briefing where he mentioned that Prime Minister Modi had personally assured him that India would be halting its oil imports from Russia. However, India has since shown skepticism towards this claim, with a spokesperson from the Ministry of External Affairs stating that such assurances were never provided by Prime Minister Modi.
The Indian government’s response indicates a divergence in the narratives presented by the two parties involved. While President Trump expressed confidence in Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to cease buying Russian oil, India has refrained from confirming this stance. The discrepancy in statements raises questions about the accuracy of President Trump’s assertion and the potential misinterpretation or miscommunication that may have occurred.
The conflicting positions taken by the U.S. and Indian governments on this matter highlight the complexities of international relations and the importance of clear and accurate communication between world leaders.
