Despite Trump's Threats, India Will Purchase Russian Oil

Indian officials have announced that they will continue to purchase oil from Russia, despite threats of sanctions from U.S. President Donald Trump. This was reported by the New York Times.

Indian officials stated on Saturday that they will keep buying cheap oil from Russia, despite Trump's threat of sanctions, marking a recent twist in an issue that New Delhi believed had been resolved.

The report noted that Trump declared last week that he would impose unspecified additional penalties on India under his latest tariff regime if it does not halt its imports of Russian oil. However, on Saturday, two senior Indian officials told the New York Times that there has been no change in their policy.
