US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a 40-minute phone conversation on Tuesday, marking their second call since the outbreak of conflict in West Asia. The discussion covered bilateral cooperation, developments in the region, and ongoing efforts to strengthen strategic ties between the two countries.
Sharing details of the call on social media platform X, Prime Minister Modi said the leaders reviewed “substantial progress” in cooperation across multiple sectors.

The conversation comes at a time when both countries are closely coordinating on regional stability in West Asia and expanding cooperation in energy, defence, and trade.
