Trump Calls Modi, Says India “True Friend and Partner”
India Strategic
|February 2017
NEW DELHI. Within days of assuming office, US President Donald Trump called Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi late Tuesday, January 24 and said India was “a true friend.”
The phone call from the 45th President of the United States was only his fifth to world leaders since he took office on January 20, and is clearly indicative of the bipartisan warmth and substance in the US-India partnership, official sources told India Strategic.
President Trump chose to call Prime Minister Modi before he called heads of traditional allies from NATO countries and even Japan. Since he assumed office January 20, President Trump has called the prime ministers of Canada and Mexico, the US’ immediate neighbours, the Israeli Premier and the Egyptian President before he spoke with the Indian Prime Minister.
Calls to heads of P-5 countries, including Britain and Russia, have not yet happened.
