US President Donald Trump held a conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to address the prevailing situation in West Asia, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said in a post on X on Tuesday.
Mr Gor said that the US President and PM Modi “emphasised the importance of open and secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz.”
The conversation was held a day after Trump declared a five-day halt to the US military strikes that were to target Iran’s energy infrastructure, following “very good and productive” conversations with Iran to end the conflict that has affected the global markets and triggered an energy crisis.
