Trump said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> had personally assured him that India would stop buying Russian oil, which has become a contentious issue in U.S.-India relations.
The president \u2014 who doubled U.S. tariffs on India to 50%<\/a> in August over the oil purchases, which he said were fueling Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine \u2014 reiterated his \u201cgreat relationship\u201d with Modi.
\u201cI was not happy that India was buying oil, and he assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia,\u201d Trump told reporters yesterday. He did not specify when the purchases would stop, saying it was \u201ca little bit of a process.\u201d
India, a major importer of oil and gas, has not confirmed the agreement, saying that discussions about deepening energy cooperation with the U.S. were \u201congoing.\u201d
\u201cIt has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario,\u201d the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cOur import policies are guided entirely by this objective.\u201d

Former President Barack Obama is endorsing Democratic former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor\u2019s race and starring in two new digital ads for her campaign.
\u201cVirginia\u2019s elections are some of the most important in the country this year,\u201d Obama says in both ads, shared first with NBC News, which focus on the economy and abortion rights. He also says in both ads, \u201cEvery vote counts.\u201d
Virginia is one of two states, along with New Jersey, holding governor\u2019s races this year. One year after the 2024 election, both races will be closely watched as indicators of how voters are responding to Trump and where the political winds are blowing ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

One thing is certain in New York City\u2019s race for mayor: There\u2019s no love lost between the top candidates, Democratic nominee and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and former Democratic governor-turned-independent Andrew Cuomo.
And as the two prepare to face off in their first general election debate tonight, along with Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, a review of the tapes from Mamdani and Cuomo\u2019s two Democratic primary debates shows how they have positioned themselves in diametric opposition to each other \u2014 and as the answer for voters seeking to address the other\u2019s shortcomings.

The Senate will vote today for a 10th time to advance the House Republicans’ short-term government funding bill, which will need 60 votes and is expected to fail again.
But the Senate will also vote this afternoon on a procedural motion related to the Defense Department appropriations bill, which could start the chamber down the process of fully funding the military. That motion, which will also need 60 votes to pass, will be a key test of whether Democrats want to block even normal appropriations bills as a part of their protest to get negotiations on an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies started.
If the procedural motion is approved, the Senate could pass the bill in the coming weeks, and if the House were also to pass the same version and Trump to sign it into law, the lapse in military pay during the government shutdown would cease to be an issue in negotiations to restart the government.
The Senate is expected to leave town for the weekend after the votes, meaning the government shutdown will likely last until Monday.
