United States President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has personally assured him that India would stop buying Russian oil.
In response to a question, Trump said, "I was not happy that India was buying oil. And he (Modi) assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That's a big stop."
The US President said that he would now "get China to do the same thing." Trump further said that he shares a "great relationship" with PM Modi.
"There will be no oil. He's not buying oil," Trump said.
He further added that the change would not take place immediately, but "within a short period of time".
