PM Modi declines Trump's invitation to meet in the US due to pre-existing schedule, says Foreign secretary Vikram Misri

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a 35-miniute telephonic conversation with US President Donald Trump, during which, the US leader invited Modi to the US to meet after his current visit to Canada for G7.

However, due to a pre-existing schedule, the prime minister was unable to accept the invitation. The two leaders agreed to meet in the near future, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said. Modi has left for Croatia.

Moreover, Modi invited Trump to India for the next meeting of Quad. While accepting the invitation, President Trump said that he is excited to come to India, Misri said.


During the discussion, Modi briefed Trump about Operation Sindoor and clarified that no topics related to trade were discussed in connection with Operation Sindoor.

He also reiterated that India has never accepted third-party mediation and will not accept such mediation in the future. Furthermore, Modi emphasised that India will now treat acts of terrorism not as proxy actions but as acts of war.

After the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22nd April, Trump had spoken with Modi over phone and expressed condolences and had also expressed support in fight against terrorism.

This was the first tine they were speaking after that. So, PM Modi spoke with President Trump in detail on Operation Sindoor.
