“Thank you, President Trump, for your phone call and warm Diwali greetings,” Mr. Modi said in a post on X on Wednesday (October 22, 2025).
“On this festival of lights, may our two great democracies continue to illuminate the world with hope and stand united against terrorism in all its forms,” the Prime Minister said.
The phone call between the two leaders comes at a time when the US-India relationship has hit a rough patch over trade tariffs and other issues.
