President Trump announced new U.S. sanctions targeting Russia’s leading oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil, citing Moscow’s refusal to end the war in Ukraine. Simultaneously, Trump reiterated that he spoke with India’s Narendra Modi, who reportedly pledged that India will “not buy much oil” from Russia—though Indian officials denied any such call. The sanctions mark a major shift in U.S. policy: the Treasury declared readiness to take further action and urged allies to join in isolating Russia economically. (PC: File)
