Trump shoves words in Modi's mouth, Europe's anti-Russian crusade drives rotation and China's got even more conflicting signals
Trump is full of fantasies, like he claimed earlier to have fully destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities and he sends an armada to do it again or as a stick to negotiate. And he also claims that India's Modi fully bent over and his country is no longer buying Russian oil. But there have been no indications about this wishy-washy claim, or at least no evidence yet. It looks like Trump’s forcing words into Modi’s mouth. Russians have also said, we don't know anything about it. A source with direct knowledge of the matter told The Officials that Indian state-owned companies are still waiting for direction on what to do. The longer nothing happens, the more likely nothing will happen.
