Mon Mar 17 16:20:50 UTC 2025: ## Modi Joins Trump’s Truth Social Platform
**NEW DELHI, March 17, 2025** – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has joined Truth Social, the social media platform founded by former US President Donald Trump. His first posts featured a photo with Trump from the 2019 “Howdy, Modi!” rally and thanked Trump for sharing a video of a recent interview. A spokesperson for Truth Social expressed excitement about Modi’s presence, anticipating engagement with a new audience.
This marks another instance of Modi utilizing foreign social media platforms for diplomatic outreach. He previously had a presence on Weibo, China’s equivalent of X (formerly Twitter), before withdrawing after the 2020 border clashes.
The impact of Modi’s move on Truth Social’s Indian user base remains unclear. The platform reportedly receives around six million monthly page visits and generated $3.6 million in revenue in 2024. However, it’s unclear whether it complies with Indian social media regulations.
