• India working with China to restore pre-2020 status, says Modi
PRAISING US PRESIDENT Donald Trump for his "humility" and "resilience" and noting that he seems "far more prepared than before", Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said Trump has a "clear roadmap in his mind with well-defined steps, each one designed to lead him toward his goals" and that he is for "America First" while "I stand for India First".
In a wide-ranging interaction with podcaster Lex Fridman, made public on Sunday, Modi said India and China are now "working to restore conditions to how they were before 2020" — when the military standoff began along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh — and "our focus is to ensure that these differences don't turn into disputes".
