US President Donald Trump once suggested calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 6am India time, brushing aside concerns about the early hour by saying the Indian leader would already be awake, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said as he highlighted the personal rapport between the two leaders.
Addressing the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit, Gor said Trump regards Modi as "a friend" and remains committed to expanding ties with India, describing their relationship as an important asset for bilateral cooperation.
