U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday (October 13, 2025) praised India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi without naming him, saying “India is a great country with a good friend of mine at the top”.
Mr. Trump, addressing a summit of world leaders at this Egyptian city after a ceasefire reached in Gaza ending the Israel-Hamas war, said from the podium that he thinks “India and Pakistan will live very nicely together”.
“India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top and he’s just done a fantastic job. I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together,” Mr. Trump said while looking at Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who was standing behind him, as he responded with a chuckle.
