WASHINGTON D.C. – The White House has characterized a recent high-level phone call between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “productive,” amid surfacing reports that billionaire Elon Musk also participated in the conversation.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the Tuesday dialogue, noting the strong relationship between the two leaders. The call marked their first official communication since the regional conflict began on February 28. A key focus of the discussion was the situation in West Asia, with Prime Minister Modi emphasizing the critical need to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and secure for global economic stability.
The New York Times reported that Elon Musk’s presence on the call—an unusual occurrence for a private citizen during a diplomatic crisis—suggests a reconciliation between the President and the tech mogul. While it remains unclear if Musk contributed to the discussion, his involvement highlights his shifting role within the current administration’s inner circle.
