It was the third phone call between the two leaders this year and the first after the recent peace talks between Iran and the U.S.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday April 14, 2026 held discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump on bilateral co-operation, including several big-ticket deals, U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said.

Some big-ticket deals, including on energy, are expected between India and the U.S. in the next few days and weeks, the ambassador said.

The issue of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in West Asia also came up during their 40-minute phone conversation, according to Gor.

It was the third phone call between the two leaders this year and the first after the recent peace talks between Iran and the U.S.

They spoke on February 2 to announce progress in a trade deal, and on March 24 to discuss the situation in West Asia.

The call ended with Trump telling PM, “I just want you to know we all love you”, the U.S. ambassador said.
