This special report focuses on claims made by former US President Donald Trump during a Diwali event where he stated he had spoken to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about trade, India-Pakistan relations, and the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump asserted, 'he's not going to buy much oil from Russia... they've cut it way back, and they're continuing to cut it way back'. The event was also attended by political figures like Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. Following the call, Prime Minister Modi posted on social media, thanking Trump for the Diwali greetings and stating, 'may our two great democracies continue to illuminate the world with hope and stand united against terrorism in all its forms'. The report scrutinises Trump's repeated claims that India will curb Russian oil imports, a point which Indian officials have previously not confirmed.
