NEW DELHI, May 29 - Top government sources on Friday virtually contradicted US President Donald Trump�s claim of a conversation between him and Prime Minister Narenda Modi on India�s ongoing military standoff with China in eastern Ladakh.
There has been no recent contact between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, the sources said.
The clarification came hours after Trump said in Washington that he had spoken to Modi and that the Indian Prime Minister is not in a �good mood� over the �big conflict� between India and China.
The sources said the last conversation between the two leaders was on April 4 on the issue of hydroxychloroquine.
On Thursday, Trump reiterated his offer to mediate between India and China, and said that he spoke to Modi, who is not in a �good mood� over the �big conflict�.
�I can tell you; I did speak to Prime Minister Modi. He is not in a good mood about what is going on with China,� the US President said during an interaction with journalists in the White House. � PTI
