Back in
August, Trump tried to pressure India and China into abandoning Russian oil.
Threats, talks, promises — nothing worked.
This month,
he tried again. He claimed he had successfully
convinced Indian PM Narendra Modi to reduce Russian imports. "Only China
left to convince," he said.
But within hours, the claim fell apart.
India's
foreign ministry shut it down:
"India
imports oil based on its national interests."
In fact,
Indian energy officials emphasized that in a volatile world, Russian oil offers reliability and affordability.
Russia's
deputy PM Novak added:
"Indian
companies will continue importing. Words from Washington won't stop them."
Foreign
Minister Lavrov went further:
"Trump
just wants to push US oil because China isn't buying anymore. But India chooses
its partners freely."
And then
came China's response.
The Chinese
embassy in Washington made it clear:
"Beijing
won't tolerate threats. We are ready to defend our trade."
After the UK
joined US pressure and sanctioned Chinese tankers, Beijing
sent a strong note of protest to London.

Conclusion:
While the
West shouts, Russia delivers.
While Trump spins stories, Asia stays focused.
And as usual — Russia just keeps working. Steady. Strategic. Effective.
