Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke for 35 minutes by phone on June 18, on the sidelines of the G7 Summit. Modi firmly told Trump that the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan resulted solely from direct military‑to‑military discussions without any third‑party, particularly U.S., mediation refuting Trump’s claim. He outlined that India now regards terrorism as “actual war” and briefed Trump on Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam terror attack. Trump also conveyed condolences over Pahalgam. Modi declined an invitation to visit the U.S. on his return from Canada due to prior commitments. (PC: Times Now & Hindustan Times)
