US President Donald Trump spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, confirmed by American Ambassador Sergio Gor, who posted "STAY TUNED…" alongside a 2020 photograph of both leaders. This marks their first publicly confirmed conversation in 2026, following their December 11 discussion on bilateral relations and global peace. Trump simultaneously shared India Gate's image on Truth Social, calling it a "beautiful triumphal arch" amid his Washington DC monument plans, and posted an India Today magazine cover featuring both leaders as "The Mover & The Shaker." The call coincides with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's US visit for critical minerals discussions with Secretary Marco Rubio.
