External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar informed the Lok Sabha on Monday that India-US talks during the India-Pakistan conflict never involved trade-related conditions, dismissing US President Donald Trump’s assertions that he used trade to de-escalate tensions between the two countries. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Jaishankar stated that no phone call occurred between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump between April 22 and June 17. Regarding India’s engagements with the US during Operation Sindoor, Jaishankar disclosed that US Vice President JD Vance had reached out to Prime Minister Modi to alert him about a major Pakistani attack, to which Modi replied that India would respond with even stronger measures.
