¡°As to whether or not there will be a conversation or a call, I don¡¯t know that there was any communication between the leaders of the two sides yesterday,¡± Jaisvar said.The clarification came from Trump¡¯s statement the day before that Indian Prime Minister Modi assured him in a conversation that day that India would stop buying Russian oil.

In addition, regarding Trump's controversial remarks, AFP previously reported that India responded on the 16th that it would give priority to the interests of Indian consumers in the energy field. "In the turbulent energy situation, safeguarding the interests of Indian consumers has always been our top priority." "Our import policy is fully guided by this goal," Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randir Jaiswal said in a statement.
