Apr 15, 2026
India and the United States are likely to finalise big-ticket agreements, including in the energy sector, in the coming days and weeks, PTI reported on Tuesday, citing the US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, signalling further momentum in bilateral ties.
The development comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a 40-minute phone conversation with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, their second interaction since the outbreak of the West Asia conflict earlier this year.
During the call, the two leaders reviewed progress in bilateral cooperation across sectors and reiterated their commitment to strengthening the India–US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. They also discussed the evolving situation in West Asia, underlining the importance of ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and secure — a key artery for global energy supplies.
