President Donald Trump revealed that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured him earlier Wednesday that India would stop importing Russian oil, amid heightened tensions between Russia and several Western countries over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The development comes as the US and its allies seek to reduce their dependence on Russian energy supplies. Trump described Modi as a 'friend' who made the assurance during a phone call. This move could potentially strengthen ties between India and the US in the face of Russian aggression.
