Trump vs Russian oil: India and China refused to play along

30/10/2025

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.
