Trump bejelentette, hogy India elszánt arra, hogy (teljesen) felhagyjon az orosz olaj importjával:
(India olajimportjának kb 30%-át biztosítják orosz forrásból jelenleg)
“
Trump said that Modi made the commitment to him during a Wednesday conversation, which was previously undisclosed.
“I was not happy that India was buying oil, and he assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That’s a big step. Now I got to get China do the same thing,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Az indiai olajfinomítók egyelőre kivárnak, hivatalos iránymutatást szeretnének kapni:
A hivatalos indiai álláspont (külügyi szóvivő):
“
“India is a significant importer of oil and gas. It has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective. Ensuring stable energy prices and secured supplies have been the twin goals of our energy policy. This includes broad-basing our energy sourcing and diversifying as appropriate to meet market conditions,” Mr. Jaiswal said.
“Where the U.S. is concerned, we have for many years sought to expand our energy procurement. This has steadily progressed in the last decade. The current administration has shown interest in deepening energy cooperation with India. Discussions are ongoing,” he added.
