A day after India responded to US President Donald Trump's comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "assurance" to halt Russian oil purchases, Trump reiterated his assertion while claiming that New Delhi has already "de-escalated and more or less stopped" its purchase from Moscow. "India is not going to be buying Russian oil anymore, and Hungary is sort of stuck because they have one pipeline that's been there for years, and they're inland; they don't have sea, and I spoke with their leader... but India will not be buying oil from Russia," Trump said. "They already de-escalated and more or less stopped. They are pulling back. They bought about 38 per cent of the oil, and they wouldn't be doing it anymore," he added. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
