Washington: Donald Trump on Friday described his recent telephonic conversation with Narendra Modi as “very good,” highlighting the strong rapport between the two leaders amid ongoing geopolitical developments in West Asia.
Speaking to reporters, Trump referred to Modi as a “friend” and commended his leadership, stating that their discussion was productive and cordial. The conversation, which took place earlier this week, focused on bilateral ties as well as the evolving situation in the Middle East.
During the call, both leaders exchanged views on the conflict involving Iran, which has had wider global implications, particularly for energy markets. The crisis has disrupted oil supply routes and contributed to rising fuel prices worldwide.
A key issue discussed was the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments. Reports indicate that both sides stressed the importance of keeping the route open and stable to avoid further economic disruptions.
The interaction, lasting around 40 minutes, is said to have concluded on a warm note, reflecting the personal chemistry between the two leaders. According to diplomatic sources, the exchange also underscored shared concerns over maintaining stability in the region.
This marks the second time Trump and Modi have spoken since the escalation of hostilities in West Asia earlier this year. Observers believe such high-level engagements are crucial as countries navigate the complex challenges posed by the ongoing conflict.
The conversation signals continued coordination between India and the United States on key international issues, particularly those impacting global trade and energy security.
