KABUL: Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced that he had a phone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to commemorate Modi’s 75th birthday.
Trump in a post on his X account this morning said that during the conversation, Prime Minister Modi emphasized India’s support for U.S. initiatives aimed at peacefully resolving the “conflict” in Ukraine and expressed a desire to strengthen relations between New Delhi and Washington.
Trump highlighted that this call is a significant step in Washington’s efforts to “reconfigure” U.S.-India relations.
Meanwhile, Modi expressed gratitude to Trump on X, stating, “Like you, I am fully committed to upgrading the comprehensive and global partnership between India and the United States to new heights. We support your initiatives for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.”
This is the third time in less than two weeks that leaders from the U.S. and India have commented on improving relations between the two countries, which have recently experienced tensions.
