00:00Did India really promise to stop buying Russian oil?
00:03Or did Trump just jump the gun?
00:05On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:10personally assured him that India would halt its Russian oil imports.
00:14But just one day later, India's foreign ministry said it wasn't even aware of such a phone call had happened.
00:19Since the war in Ukraine began, India has become a major buyer of Russian oil,
00:24helping Russia survive sanctions and keeping its economy afloat.
00:28The U.S. wants that to stop fast.
00:31Trump's bold claim was made during a speech at the White House.
00:34But India's cool response left everyone wondering.
00:37Was there a private deal, a misunderstanding, or a political move gone wrong?
00:42India says its oil policies are based on protecting its people, not politics.
00:47And right now, they're not confirming any promises.
00:50So the big question remains, who's telling the truth?
