Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his birthday greetings, emphasizing his dedication to strengthening the relationship between India and the US and backing Washington's efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Ukraine situation. PM Modi posted on X, saying he is also fully dedicated to elevating the India-US partnership to greater levels, and that they support Trump's efforts to peacefully resolve the Ukraine conflict. Trump replied on Truth Social, saying he had a "wonderful call" with PM Modi, praising his "tremendous job," and thanking India for backing the US's actions to end the Ukraine-Russia war. He wished Modi a happy birthday and thanked him for his support in ending the war.

No other country has these tariffs. This followed US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's warning this week that New Delhi might not be able to sell goods in America if it doesn't buy corn from the US. For the first time since the high tariffs were put in place, the two countries talked on Tuesday about what to do next in their trade talks, which Washington called "positive." These talks show that both countries want to find agreement and lessen disagreements on different topics to improve their relationship.

The decision to talk about trade happened after Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed with Trump last week about fixing "trade barriers" between them. The US president said he wants to speak with Modi soon and believes they can agree on the trade deal. The India-US partnership includes important projects related to defense, trade, energy, and technology. A target of reaching $500 billion in value by 2030 was established.
