'Modi and I are two people that get things done': Trump's praise for PM amid West Asia war

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and I are two people who can get things done," a message posted by the American Embassy in India on Friday on Friday read.

The US Embassy in India posted a picture of the two leaders, highlighting US's strong relationship with India.

"Our amazing relationship with India will be even stronger going forward. Prime Minister Modi and I are two people that get things done, something that cannot be said for most," Trump said.

The post comes days after PM Modi held a phone conversation with Trump on Tuesday, where they discussed the ongoing West Asia conflict.

Modi said that India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest in West Asia, and hence focuses on securing the Strait of Hormuz for global shipping.

"Received a call from President Trump and had a useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia," Modi said on social media.

"India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest. Ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the whole world. We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability," he said.

US envoy to India Sergio Gor also said that the two leaders deliberated on the importance of keeping the key shipping lane open.
