External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on Saturday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi attaches “enormous importance” to India’s partnership with the United States, reacting to the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement of US President Donald Trump’s softened tone on New Delhi.

“PM Modi attaches enormous importance to our partnership with the US. Where President Trump is concerned, he (PM Modi) has always had a very good personal equation with President Trump. But the point is that we remain engaged with the US, and at this time, I can’t say more than that. But that’s really what I would say,” Jaishankar told ANI.

His remarks followed PM Modi’s first reaction to Trump’s comments, where the Prime Minister said he “deeply appreciates and fully reciprocates” the US President’s “positive assessment” of India-US ties, describing them as “very positive and forward-looking.”
