Saira Imran U.S. President Donald Trump said he talked to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and told him that there should be no war with Pakistan.
According to the Times of India, President Trump spoke during a Diwali event at the White House on Tuesday. The event included Indian Ambassador to the U.S. Vinay Kwatra, FBI chief Kash Patel, Intelligence Chief Tulsi Gabbard, and the new U.S. ambassador to India, Sergio Gor.
During his speech, Trump said, “I talked to your Prime Minister today. We had a good conversation. We discussed trade and other important matters.” He added, “I told him there should be no war with Pakistan. Because trade was part of the discussion, I could speak about peace. There is no war between Pakistan and India, and that’s a very good thing.”
Trump also mentioned that Modi assured him India would reduce its purchase of Russian oil. He called Modi “a great friend” and claimed that both countries were working on some “wonderful agreements.”
However, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said they were unaware of any such conversation between Trump and Modi. Hindustan Times reported that the ministry issued a statement denying knowledge of the discussion. The statement also clarified that any reduction in Russian oil imports would happen gradually. India has already said that if Russian oil remains economically beneficial, it will continue buying it.
The ministry added that in an uncertain energy market, India’s main goal is to protect the interests of its consumers. The statement did not mention any of Trump’s claims about the conversation or the oil deal.
Trump repeated his statement that Modi wanted peace in the Russia-Ukraine war and was already buying less oil from Russia. He stressed that both leaders wanted the war to end soon.
Despite Trump’s remarks, India’s official stance suggests a more cautious approach toward reducing oil imports from Russia while maintaining its energy security.
In the end, Trump message to Modi about Pakistan war shows his effort to promote peace and trade between India and Pakistan while addressing global oil and energy concerns.
