President Trump asserts that Prime Minister Modi has committed to reducing dependence on Russian energy sources.
Recent statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump suggest that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made assurances to reduce India’s reliance on Russian oil and gas supplies. This development comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and Russia, with Trump advocating for countries to sever ties with Russian energy sources.
While Trump’s claims have not been independently verified, they have sparked discussions about the potential impact on India’s energy policies and diplomatic relations.

Analysts are closely monitoring the situation to see if India will indeed shift its energy procurement strategies in response to international pressures and geopolitical dynamics. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for India’s energy security and its relationships with key global players.
