US President Donald Trump on Friday welcomed reports that state-run refineries in India have halted buying Russian oil, calling it a “good step,” though he acknowledged he was not sure if the claim was accurate.
Responding to a question from a reporter about potential penalties or plans to engage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump said, “I understand that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard. I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens.”
