U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to extend warm greetings on his 75th birthday, which is being celebrated today, September 17. The phone call, which follows a recent period of strained trade relations, is being seen as a step toward resetting the India-US Comprehensive and Global Partnership.

Following the conversation, Prime Minister Modi took to social media to express his gratitude. “Thank you, my friend, President Trump, for your phone call and warm greetings on my 75th birthday,” PM Modi posted. “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 Ukraine conflict.”
