Today is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. He turned 75 on September 17, 2025. His birthday brings an opportunity for the friendship between India and the United States. His birthday has thawed the frost that had frozen India-US relations for the past few months. Yes, the moment everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived. PM Modi and Donald Trump have finally spoken. On the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, US President Donald Trump called him to congratulate him.
Actually, this phone call between PM Modi and US President Donald Trump is important. The reason is that this call has taken place for the first time after the month of June. Before this, both the leaders had a conversation on 17 June. That conversation was quite tense. The reason was tariff. Due to tariff, there was no conversation between Modi and Trump after 17 June. The whole world was waiting for the next opportunity to talk. But after the conversation on 17 June, 17 September is the occasion when Trump called Modi.
Talks between Donald Trump and Modi
Donald Trump wished PM Modi a happy birthday, saying he was doing a fantastic job. Donald Trump posted on TruthSocial, “Just had a wonderful phone conversation with my friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I wished him a very happy birthday. He’s doing a great job. Narendra: Thank you for your support in ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.” He wrote President DJT at the bottom of his message. PM Modi also responded to the call, thanking Trump and calling him his friend.
Friendship gains new wings
This call signals a new impetus for India-US relations, especially at a time when global challenges are increasing. This conversation is the first since June. The last one took place on June 17th. This one took place on September 17th, PM Modi’s birthday. Now that the stalled conversation has resumed on the occasion of his birthday, it is expected that the friendship between India and the US will pick up speed. This call between Modi and Trump not only reflects personal ties but is also a step towards strengthening India-US relations. After the tariff dispute, everyone was waiting for this moment.
Talks have taken place, but when will they meet?
Indeed, India-US relations have a strong history. During Donald Trump’s first term, events like “Howdy Modi” and “Namaste Trump” elevated their friendship to new heights. However, during his second term, tariffs crippled the relationship. However, Donald Trump has now realized his mistake. He understands that tariffs are driving his friend India away from the US. This is why Donald Trump has also softened his stance. Therefore, it seems that this call will restore order between India and the US. Now that the two leaders have spoken on the phone, it remains to be seen when the meeting will take place.
