Prime Minister speaks to President Trump

• A telephonic conversation between PM Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump on 2 February 2026, in which Modi thanked Trump for slashing tariffs on Indian products to 18%.
• Marks the public closure of the India–US interim trade deal that ends the punitive 50% reciprocal tariff regime imposed earlier on Indian exports.
• Examinable for GS-II (IR — India & USA) and GS-III (Economy — External Trade); also a likely Prelims hook on tariff figures and product baskets.
