On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked US President Donald Trump for the Diwali greetings and said he hoped that everyone will unite in the fight against terrorism.
Trump told reporters he spoke with Prime Minister Modi on Tuesday and that the two parties are “working on some great deals between our countries” during his White House Diwali Party.
“Your Prime Minister and I just spoke today. We had an excellent discussion. We discussed trade. We discussed a wide range of topics, but primarily trade. He expressed a great deal of interest in that.
“Thank you, President Trump, for your phone call and warm Diwali greetings,” PM Modi added on X. May our two great democracies continue to shine a beacon of hope around the world and unite against all forms of terrorism on this festival of lights.
Trump called Prime Minister Modi “a great person” and declared his affection for “the people of India” during a special Diwali celebration at the White House.
FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the new US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, and Indian Ambassador to the US Vinay Kwatra attended the occasion. The festivities also included prominent business figures from the Indian diaspora.
Trump gave his “warmest wishes to the people of India” while lighting the diya in the Oval Office, describing it as “a symbol of faith in the victory of light over darkness.”
In May, he claimed to have settled the conflict between India and Pakistan. This assertion was denied by India, which said that the ceasefire agreement was only achieved in response to the Pakistani Army’s plea for the Indian side to stop the onslaught.
But Trump reaffirmed this at the Diwali festival.
“We did discuss avoiding battles with Pakistan a short while ago. I was able to discuss the fact that commerce was involved. Additionally, we are not at war with India or Pakistan. He remarked, “That was a very, very good thing.”
