In the backdrop of escalating tensions in West Asia, US President Donald Trump has once again showered high praise on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a statement released by the US Embassy in India on Friday, Trump asserted, “Modi and I are two people that get things done,” highlighting a level of efficiency he finds rare in global leadership.

The remarks follow a high-level telephonic conversation between the two leaders on Tuesday, their first since the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran. During the call, PM Modi maintained India’s principled stance, emphasizing that India stands for peace and diplomacy rather than war. He urged for an immediate de-escalation of the conflict to prevent a global economic meltdown.

A key highlight of their discussion was the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route for global energy supplies. Modi stressed that keeping this route open is vital for international trade stability. Political analysts view Trump’s endorsement as more than just a courtesy; it is a strategic signal that Washington views New Delhi as a pivotal partner in navigating the current geopolitical turmoil and ensuring global economic order.
