Trump Slams China on Russia Oil, Ignores Questions on India in Ukraine War Remarks

US President Donald Trump has sharply criticised China's role in the Ukraine war, directly linking Beijing's purchase of Russian oil to the conflict's continuation. In recent remarks, Trump stated that imposing sanctions on China could bring an end to the war, emphasizing China's substantial role as a buyer of Russian energy.

Significantly, Trump avoided commenting on India's similar energy purchases from Russia. This omission signals a shift in Trump's approach towards India, suggesting a more conciliatory tone amidst the growing strategic partnership between the US and India. This contrasts with previous statements where he criticised India's trade policies.
