On March 27 local time, a reporter from the General Station learned that U.S. President Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Modi on the 24th regarding the situation in the Middle East, and American entrepreneur Elon Musk also participated. It is uncommon for a private entrepreneur without a government position to be involved in conversations between national leaders, especially when the discussions involve national security issues.

According to reports, the conversation mainly focused on the escalating situation in the Middle East, particularly concerning Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. This strait is a crucial route for global oil and gas transport, and current shipping disruptions have led to rising energy prices, impacting global markets.

It remains unclear why Musk participated in this conversation or if he spoke during it. Allegedly, Musk has investments in Middle Eastern countries and is also seeking to expand his business presence in the Indian market.

Analysts believe this move also indicates a thaw in the relationship between Musk and Trump. The two had previously experienced differences after Trump left office, but their relationship has recently improved. (General Station Reporter Zhang Yingzhe)
