Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his debut on Truth Social on Monday, responding to US President Donald Trump, who had shared a link to Modi’s podcast with AI researcher Lex Fridman.
“Thank you, my friend, President Trump. I’ve covered a wide range of topics, including my life journey, India’s civilisational outlook, global issues, and more,” PM Modi wrote on Truth Social.

Modi Reflects on Relationship with Trump
In the podcast, Modi spoke about his experiences with Trump, recalling key moments like the ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Houston and a personal tour of the White House led by Trump. He praised Trump’s leadership style and resilience, especially after the recent assassination attempt, drawing parallels to his own “Nation First” principle.
Modi’s Entry on Truth Social
PM Modi’s arrival on Truth Social is notable, as the platform is primarily associated with Trump’s supporters and conservative voices in the US. His first post read, “Delighted to be on Truth Social! Looking forward to interacting with all the passionate voices here and engaging in meaningful conversations in the times to come.”
Trade Talks and US-India Relations
The exchange between the two leaders comes as India and the US discuss trade tariffs. Trump has previously called Modi a “tough and better negotiator,” a remark Modi addressed, emphasizing his commitment to India’s interests. With ongoing negotiations, Modi’s presence on Truth Social marks a new phase in India-US diplomatic engagement.
