🇺🇸 $TRUMP Turns Up the Heat on India Over Russian Oil! 🇮🇳

Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he told Indian PM Narendra Modi to stop buying oil from Russia, saying Modi assured him he “won’t be doing the Russian oil thing.” ⚠️

Trump also warned that India could face massive tariffs on its exports to the U.S. if it continues purchasing Russian crude — suggesting that about half of the current 50% tariffs on Indian goods are linked to those oil imports.

🧐 India’s Response:

New Delhi’s Ministry of External Affairs swiftly denied any recent conversation between Modi and Trump, reaffirming that India’s energy policy is guided by national interests, affordability, and strategic autonomy — not foreign pressure.

🔍 Why It Matters:

India is now one of the top buyers of discounted Russian oil, while the U.S. seeks to cut Moscow’s energy revenues amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

This clash highlights a growing trade and geopolitical rift — energy dependence vs. tariff threats.
