Two Indian government officials⁣ said on Saturday that New Delhi will persist ⁣in buying ‍Russian oil despite Trump’s ‌warnings.

One source emphasized, “There has been no⁢ immediate change in policy regarding​ oil imports from Russia.These ⁣are long-term contracts,and a sudden stop is​ not⁢ feasible.”

Last ⁤month, ⁣Trump warned ⁤on his social media platform Truth Social that India could‌ face harsher penalties for buying weapons and ⁣oil from ‌Russia.

The Hindustan Times also reported that during a speech in Brasília, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated: “We‍ want to negotiate, but this must be done⁤ on equal ‌terms.”

Lula​ stressed his ‍commitment ‍to defending Brazilian⁤ companies and workers⁢ while telling ‍Trump:‌ “If you ⁢are ready to negotiate, ⁢our proposals are⁣ on the table.”

Last month, Trump placed ⁢Brazil at the center⁢ of his global trade war agenda by threatening ⁢a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian exports to the⁢ United States.
