Jaishankar Defends Russian Oil, Cites 'National Interest' in US Row

India's Foreign Minister, Jaishankar, is standing up for his country's right to buy oil from Russia, even if the US doesn't like it.

He's saying that India makes its own choices based on what's best for the country, not what other countries want.

He points out that when oil prices were high, people wanted India to buy Russian oil to lower prices.

Now, the US has put taxes on Indian goods and doesn't like the Russian oil trade.

But Jaishankar is firm: India will do what is best for its people and economy.
