Like you, I am also fully committed to taking the India-US Comprehensive and Global Partnership to new heights. We support your initiatives towards a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict”.
Apparently, PM Modi extended thanks to US President Trump for warm wishes on his 75th birthday and further signalled that he is also fully committed to taking the India-U.S. Comprehensive and Global Partnership to new heights. Notably, no reference to Trade Talks and US tariffs has been mentioned in the social media post of PM Modi.
What did the US President Trump cite on Truth Social?
Taking to Truth Social, US President Donald Trump stated: “Just had a wonderful phone call with my friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I wished him a very Happy Birthday! He is doing a tremendous job. Narendra: Thank you for your support in ending the War between Russia and Ukraine! President DJT”.
Remarkably, US President Trump also thanked PM Modi for his support in ending the war between Russia and Ukraine in his post on Truth Social.
