Trump, Modi Discuss Middle East; Musk Joins Call

On March 28, it was learned on March 27 local time that American entrepreneur Elon Musk also participated when U.S. President Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Modi about the Middle East situation. It is uncommon for a private entrepreneur without any official position to participate in a call between national leaders, especially when the call involves national security issues. It is understood that the call primarily focused on the escalating situation in the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a critical passage for global oil and gas transportation, and the current shipping disruptions have led to rising energy prices and impacted global markets. It remains unclear why Musk participated in this call or if he spoke during it. It is reported that Musk has investments in Middle Eastern countries and is also seeking to expand his business presence in the Indian market. (CCTV News)
