00:00Did India really promise to stop buying Russian oil?
00:03Donald Trump says yes, but India isn't saying a word.
00:06In a bold statement from the White House,
00:08Trump claimed that Prime Minister Modi
00:10assured him India would wind down oil imports from Russia.
00:14But here's the twist.
00:15India's foreign ministry didn't confirm it or deny it.
00:19Instead, they said their top priority is protecting Indian consumers
00:22in a volatile global energy market.
00:25And right now, Russian oil is cheap and flowing steadily.
00:28So what's really going on?
00:30India has been buying discounted Russian oil
00:33since the Ukraine war began, despite pressure from the West.
00:36And Russia is now India's number one oil supplier.
00:40Trump says the halt is coming soon, just not immediately.
00:43But opposition leaders in India aren't buying it.
00:46Rahul Gandhi even accused Modi of letting Trump make decisions for India.
00:51Meanwhile, Russia says, it's India's call.
00:54So, is India backing off Russian oil or just playing both sides?
00:58Only time will tell, but the silence speaks volumes.
