India on Friday denied the Prime Minister had discussed the China border standoff with the US President after Donald Trump said he had spoken to Narendra Modi about it. Trump’s claim marks a near rerun of his suggestion in July that Modi had asked him to mediate on Kashmir. The last conversation between them was on 4 April 2020 on the subject of hydroxychloroquine,” an Indian government source said. For someone who has made a display of his camaraderie with the Prime Minister more than once, Trump has regularly put Modi in an embarrassing situation. Last month, Trump had spoken of possible retaliation if New Delhi refused to send the hydroxychloroquine tablets sought by the US.
