US President Donald Trump reiterated claims on Wednesday regarding India's oil imports, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assured him of India's plan to gradually halt purchases of Russian oil by the end of the year. This announcement occurred amidst the US imposition of new sanctions targeting two prominent Russian oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil. During a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, President Trump indicated the timing was appropriate for these punitive measures, which he had previously signaled would be implemented if Russia did not cease its conflict in Ukraine.
