Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a briefing: "I am not aware of any conversation between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump yesterday".

Mr Trump's statement, made to reporters in Washington on Wednesday, seemed to claim credit for influencing India's energy policy. "I was not happy that India was buying oil (from Russia). And he (Modi) assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That's a big stop," Mr Trump was reported as saying.
