PM Modi Birthday / While congratulating PM Modi, Trump said a big thing, said- 'To end the Russia-Ukraine war...'

PM Modi Birthday: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to congratulate him on his 75th birthday. The phone call is being seen as an important step towards strengthening relations between the two countries, especially after the tensions over trade and tariffs in recent months. Trump praised PM Modi as his "friend" and expressed gratitude for India's support in ending the Russia-Ukraine war.

Trump's social media post: Friendly tone

Trump mentioned this conversation on his social media site Truth Social and wrote:

"I had a good conversation on the phone with my friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I wished him a very happy birthday. He is doing a great job. Narendra, thank you for your support in ending the Russia-Ukraine war! - President DJT."

Trump signed the post with his initials (Donald John Trump), which reflects the personal and friendly tone of this conversation.

PM Modi's reply: Promise to take partnership to new heights

Prime Minister Modi also thanked Trump for this call. He posted on X and wrote:

"My friend President Trump, thank you for your phone call and warm wishes on my 75th birthday. I am also fully committed to taking the comprehensive and global partnership between India and the US to new heights. We support your efforts for a peaceful solution to the Ukraine crisis."

This reply from Modi not only reflects personal friendship but also underlines the commitment to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

Positive sign amid trade tensions

This phone call is the first time since Trump and Modi's last conversation during the G7 summit in June 2025. Some tension was seen between the two countries since that time, especially when the Trump administration imposed a 50% tariff on India, including a 25% tariff on buying oil from Russia. Trump had also criticised India's high tariff policies and officials in his administration had issued sharp rhetoric against New Delhi.

However, last week Trump had said in a positive post on Truth Social that he was "confident" that the trade talks between India and the US would reach a "successful conclusion". He addressed PM Modi as his "very good friend" and expressed his desire for early talks. In response, PM Modi described India and the US as "natural partners" and said that the trade talks were exploring the immense possibilities of partnership between the two countries.

India's role in Russia-Ukraine war

Trump's appreciation of India's support in ending the Russia-Ukraine war is an indication that India is playing an important mediator role on the global stage. PM Modi has held talks with both sides in recent months and advocated a peaceful solution. Trump's gratitude recognises India's diplomatic initiatives, which are contributing to global stability.

Way Forward: Stronger Partnership Expected

This phone call is not just a symbol of personal friendship but also a step towards further strengthening the strategic partnership between India and the US. The positive comments and mutual respect of both leaders enhance the prospects of cooperation in areas such as trade, defence, and global peace. Experts believe that this conversation will help ease the recent tensions between the two countries and pave the way for more constructive dialogue in the future.

As PM Modi said, the India-US partnership is for "global good". This phone call has once again strengthened the foundation of this partnership, which is poised to touch even greater heights in the years to come.

Thank you, my friend, President Trump, for your phone call and warm greetings on my 75th birthday. Like you, I am also fully committed to taking the India-US Comprehensive and Global Partnership to new heights. We support your initiatives towards a peaceful resolution of the…
