Donald Trump Big Claim: Former US President Donald Trump claimed on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured him that India will no longer buy oil from Russia. However, the Indian government has not confirmed this claim of Trump.
Donald Trump Big Claim: There was already a situation of tension between India and America. US President Donald Trump did not want India to buy oil from Russia. But now Trump has made a shocking claim. He said on Wednesday i.e. 15 October that India will no longer buy oil from Russia. However, the truth of this claim will become clear only after the response of the Ministry of External Affairs. The special thing is that Trump has already made false claims about India many times.
Indian government has not yet confirmed the claim
This statement of Trump has come at a time when America is putting economic pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war. America wants the sanctions imposed against Russia to prove effective. If India really stops buying oil from Russia, it will be a major change in the world’s energy policy. However, the Indian government has not yet confirmed this claim of Trump.

India is Russia’s second largest oil buyer
Let us tell you that India is the second largest oil buyer of Russia. China is at number one. If India stopped buying oil from Russia, it would signal a major change in Moscow’s main customers and create a new situation for other countries taking oil from Russia. Trump does not want to rely only on multilateral sanctions to put pressure on Russia, but also wants to take advantage of direct relations between the countries.
Trump has been disappointed in his efforts to end the Ukraine war. This war started after the invasion of Russia about four years ago. Trump has expressed displeasure at Russian President Vladimir Putin and described him as the biggest obstacle to the solution. At the same time, he is scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.
