No reason to believe change in India's stance on Russian oil: Russian Foreign Ministry

Russia's Foreign Ministry stated it has no reason to believe India has changed its stance on purchasing Russian oil, which benefits both countries and maintains stability in the global energy market. The ministry refuted claims by the United States, including those from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who asserted India had agreed to stop importing Russian crude. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with President Donald Trump, a trade deal was announced that included a reduction of U.S. tariffs on Indian goods.
