The Ministry of External Affairs stated Thursday that no phone call took place between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, rejecting the latter’s claim.

Trump Wednesday had claimed that, during a telephonic conversation, PM Modi has “assured” him that India won’t be buying oil from Russia.

When asked whether there was a conversation between PM Modi and the US President, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded during a weekly media briefing: “Regarding the comment from the US on energy issue, we have already issued a statement, which you can refer to. As for the telephonic conversation, I can say that there has been no discussion between the Prime Minister and President Trump”.
