Modi refused Trump’s calls 4 times in recent weeks: German newspaper

A similar report carried by Japan’s Nikkei Asia points to fast-deteriorating ties between the US and India, despite both governments earlier calling their partnership “the most consequential of the 21st century".

HT.com couldn't independently verify the authenticity of the claims.

“Trump has tried four times in recent weeks to get Modi on the phone. But Modi refuses to take the call,” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) claimed. The report did not name the sources.

Both Washington and New Delhi haven't immediately responded to the reports.
