Trump: India agreed to stop buying Russian oil

President Donald Trump on Wednesday stated that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally told him that his country would no longer purchase Russian oil.

Trump has pressured India and China to stop doing business with Russia in a bid to shut down its economy and force an end to the Ukraine War.

"He assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia," Trump said. "It's a big stop. Now, I've gotta get China to do the same."

The details of a planned stop have not become public and Modi does not appear to have made any such announcement as of press time.

Such a move, however, would mark a significant win for Trump and potentially increase momentum for a peace agreement.
