WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally assured him that his country would stop buying Russian oil. <\/a><\/p>\n

The change, which has not been confirmed by the Indian government, would boost Trump\u2019s efforts to pressure Moscow to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no oil. He\u2019s not buying oil,\u201d Trump said. The change won\u2019t take immediately, he said, but \u201cwithin a short period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Indian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n

Trump has been frustrated by his inability to force an end to the war in Ukraine, which began with Russia\u2019s invasion almost four years ago. He\u2019s expressed dissatisfaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he increasingly describes as the primary obstacle to a resolution, and he\u2019s scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday.<\/p>\n

India is the second biggest purchaser of Russian oil, after China, and Trump punished India<\/a> with higher tariffs in August. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally assured him that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[11410,32,2000,299,4179,10680,730,73813,2301,22817,285,332,7661,30275,7143,657,333,2601,10673,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-502613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-asia-pacific","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-general-news","13":"tag-government-and-politics","14":"tag-india","15":"tag-india-government","16":"tag-moscow","17":"tag-narendra-modi","18":"tag-politics","19":"tag-russia","20":"tag-russia-ukraine-war","21":"tag-south-asia","22":"tag-u-s-news","23":"tag-ukraine","24":"tag-vladimir-putin","25":"tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","26":"tag-washington-news","27":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115380604389643721","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
