In a social media post, PM Modi said, like Mr. Trump, he is also “fully” committed to taking the India-U.S. Comprehensive and Global Partnership to “new heights”. PM Modi said, “Thank you, my friend, President Trump, for your phone call and warm greetings on my 75th birthday.” Mr. Trump also thanked PM Modi for his support in ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah University, was charged on Tuesday (September 16, 2025) with aggravated murder. The charge means Robinson could face the death penalty if convicted of killing Kirk last week at Utah Valley University in Orem, about 64 km south of Salt Lake City. “The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy,” Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said in announcing the charges. He said Robinson’s DNA was found on trigger of the gun used to kill Kirk. Published - September 17, 2025 06:38 am IST
