During a June 17 call, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming credit for ending a military escalation between India and Pakistan. Modi firmly rejected the implication, clarifying that the ceasefire was negotiated bilaterally and that the U.S. had no involvement. This rebuke contributed significantly to the decline in personal ties between the two leaders, already strained by mounting U.S. tariffs on Indian goods and disagreements over strategic autonomy.
