‘Only Trump is saying…’ ‘Friend’ India will buy Russian oil with a bang, confirms Russian Foreign Minister

India will stop buying Russian oil in the eyes of Donald Trump! This discussion is going on in diplomatic circles as the trade agreement is finalized. The US President himself has claimed that India will stop buying Russian oil. However, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov completely rejected that claim. According to him, none other than Trump has demanded that India stop buying oil from Russia.

Citing a statement from the White House on Wednesday, US Customs and Border Protection said the new tariffs would be imposed on goods removed from warehouses on or after February 7. Reciprocal duty has been reduced from 25 percent to 18 percent, the duty rate will be effective. In this situation, the question naturally arises, what steps will India take to buy Russian oil? Because India and America are going to sign a trade agreement on the condition of not buying Russian oil and buying US goods worth 45 lakh crores in five years. Will India continue to import Russian oil without complying with that condition?

The Russian Foreign Minister has fueled the speculation. On Wednesday, he clearly said, “Donald Trump is the only one who is telling the world that India will stop buying oil from its long time trusted ‘friend’ Russia. But no one but Trump is saying this. There is no reason to assume that there is tension between India and Russia.” India did not get any response to this comment of the Russian Foreign Minister.

“Donald Trump is the only one telling the world that India will stop buying oil from long-time trusted ‘friend’ Russia. But no one but Trump is saying that.”

It should be noted that a couple of days ago, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, “The main goal is to protect the country’s interests in fuel. So that all the citizens and industries of India get enough fuel. Not only that, it is our duty to ensure that fuel is available at an affordable price and that the supply system is reliable.” However, there is no clear answer on whether India will buy oil from Russia. However, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal made significant comments. He said that it is in India’s interest to buy oil from America. What does that mean to stop importing Russian oil?
