Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a phone call with former U.S. President Donald Trump, said that the U.S. played no role in the recent India-Pakistan skirmish or any trade negotiations. He stated that on May 9, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance issued a warning that Pakistan might carry out a large-scale attack, prompting India to prepare in advance. Following a missile and drone assault by Pakistan, India retaliated with significant strikes on Pakistani military facilities. Modi reiterated that India has never accepted, nor will it ever accept, third-party mediation on Kashmir. He also invited Trump to attend the upcoming Quad Summit.
