Trump Says India May Have Halted Russian Oil Purchases

US President Donald Trump claimed that he had heard that India could stop buying oil from Russia on Saturday, but admitted that he was not sure of the information.

“I understand that India will no longer buy oil from Russia. I have heard, I don’t know if it is true. This is a good step. We will see what will happen.”

His comments came a few days after criticizing India for continuing to buy Russian oil in the middle of the Ukraine War. The White House has recently announced a 25% tariff for all imports from India, along with a “punishment an for the energy trade with Russia.

With a real social task, Trump constantly hit India’s high tariffs and “disgusting” trade barriers and Russian military equipment and oil purchasing.

India, the world’s third largest oil importer, became the leading buyer of the Russian raw, a sea -based Russian raw, an important source of income for Moscow. However, according to a Reuters report referring to sources, the refinerers operated by Indian state did not purchase any Russian oil last week.
