In a significant development in international trade and energy policy, India is navigating a complex geopolitical landscape by diversifying its energy sources while moving closer to a trade agreement with the United States. According to Dawn, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized that India's energy policy is driven by 'adequate availability, fair pricing, and reliability of supply,' and that the country does not intend to depend on a single source for crude oil. This statement comes in response to US President Donald Trump's claim that India has 'committed to stop directly or indirectly' importing Russian oil. The sentiment across sources like Business Recorder and Tribune Latest is negative, highlighting the challenges India faces in balancing its energy needs with international diplomatic pressures.
