They are coming in: Trump claims India will buy Venezuelan oil, not Iran crude
India Today
The United States is encouraging India to consider Venezuelan oil as a replacement for Russian imports, part of Washington's broader effort to limit funds flowing to Moscow amid its war in Ukraine.
United States President Donald Trump on Sunday said that India will import Venezuelan oil instead of purchasing crude from Iran. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Florida, he stated, "We have already made a deal. India is coming in, and they are going to be buying Venezuelan oil as opposed to buying it from Iran. So, we have already made the concept of the deal".
India currently imports little crude from Iran due to longstanding US sanctions, though Tehran was previously among its top suppliers.
Trump's remarks followed signals from the United States that New Delhi may soon be allowed to resume purchases of Venezuelan crude.
