Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump spoke over the phone between 3:45 PM and 4:45 PM UTC on February 2, 2026, with details awaited, according to US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor as cited in an X post by @MattooShashank. The call coincides with renewed attention to a 2020 Indian-Chinese tank standoff image at Rezang La in Ladakh. An image of the 2020 tank standoff between Indian and Chinese forces atop Rezang La, where both militaries were 370 feet apart with tanks in close proximity, was reposted on X by @detresfa_, stating the topic is relevant again. Derek J. Grossman posted on X quoting President Trump commenting "nice gate India, but ours will be better," in reference to India amid the resurfaced border conflict imagery. The phone call occurs hours after Pakistan security forces reported eliminating 22 terrorists in Balochistan operations earlier today, per previous reports, though no direct connection is stated in new sources. General M.M. Naravane's book details from 2020, including Chinese tanks advancing near Indian positions at Rechin La, were highlighted in earlier coverage today but not referenced in these new posts.
