Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump held a nearly 40 minute phone conversation, US ambassador to India Sergio Gor said on Tuesday.

Reaffirming that India-US relations “are on strong footing,” Gor said the US President told PM Modi: “I just want you to know we all love you.”

The development comes amid a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran and a day after Trump’s sweeping blockade on Iran-linked ships in Strait of Hormuz took effect.
