There was a situation of tension between India and America. US President Donald Trump did not want India to buy oil from Russia. However, now he has made a shocking claim. Trump said on Wednesday (October 15) that India will no longer buy Russian oil. How much truth is there in this claim will be known only after the reaction of the Ministry of External Affairs. The important thing is that Trump has already made many false claims about India.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said, “Yes, absolutely.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi is my friend. We have very good relations. I did not like that India bought oil from Russia. However, today he has assured me that now India will not buy oil from Russia. This is a big step. We have to prepare China to do the same.
What did the US President claim about Russia?
Trump has given statements many times regarding Russian oil. He had claimed that Russia was investing its earned money in the Ukraine war and that is why he did not want India to buy oil from Russia. Angered by this, Trump imposed 50 percent tariff on India. The US President had imposed heavy tariffs on India as well as China. Now a tariff war is going on between America and China.
