India clarified factors that determine the sourcing of energy for the country. The government's remarks came after Donald Trump's attack for buying Russian oil.

India has bought a nearly constant flow of Russian oil for the past two years. Prices fluctuated, but each year’s sales have been worth approximately $275 billion. Iraq and Saudi Arabia, traditionally India’s biggest suppliers, have been pushed to the side.

President Donald Trump says the United States and India are still negotiating on trade despite new tariffs slated to begin in a few days.
