Modi Holds Nearly 40-Minute Phone Conversation with US President Donald Trump

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a telephonic conversation on Tuesday that lasted nearly 40 minutes.

The two leaders discussed the evolving situation in West Asia, with a focus on regional tensions and their potential impact on global energy security. Sources indicated the call also touched upon strengthening future bilateral engagement between India and the United States in the coming months.

This conversation comes amid continued volatility in the Middle East, where India has maintained its position advocating for de-escalation, restoration of peace, and ensuring the security and openness of critical maritime routes like the Strait of Hormuz, vital for global oil supplies.

It is the latest in a series of direct engagements between the two leaders. Their previous notable phone call on March 24, 2026, also centred on the West Asia crisis and was described as a “useful exchange of views” by Prime Minister Modi and “productive” by the White House.

No detailed official readout from the Prime Minister’s Office or the White House has been issued yet for today’s discussion. However, early indications describe it as a substantive and cordial exchange between the longstanding strategic partners.
