President Donald Trump announced that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to cease purchasing Russian oil, a move aimed at increasing economic pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. This decision comes amidst ongoing trade disputes and U.S. efforts to cut off Russia's energy funding.

• Trump claims Modi assured him India would halt purchases "within a short period of time."
• India's imports of Russian crude oil are crucial for its fifth-largest economy.
• The Trump administration has imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods as punishment for energy and weapons transactions with Russia.
