US President Donald Trump on Saturday said India has reportedly stopped purchasing Russian oil and called it a "good step" if confirmed, even as sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said they were unaware of any pause on the imports. 

Speaking to reporters in Washington DC, Mr Trump said: "I understand that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard, I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens."
