PM Modi Defiant as Trump Steps up Pressure on India’s Russia Oil Purchases

Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi struck a defiant tone in the face of United State President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, urging the nation to buy local goods as his administration signaled it would continue buying Russian oil.
Modi’s government has not given India’s oil refiners instructions to stop buying Russian oil and no decision has been taken on whether to halt the purchases, people familiar with the situation told Bloomberg, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter. Both state-run and private refiners are allowed to buy from preferred sources and crude purchases remain a commercial decision in national interest, several of the people said.
