Here’s How A Truth Social Post Reshared By Trump Triggered Outrage In India
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump referred to India as a "hellhole" in a social media post denouncing birthright citizenship, sparking swift international condemnation.
- Trump made the remark while arguing that immigrants from India exploit the 14th Amendment to secure citizenship through "birth tourism," a practice he has long targeted.
- Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal called the remarks "obviously uninformed, inappropriate and in poor taste." Congressman Ami Bera labeled the post "offensive, ignorant and beneath the dignity of the office."
- Lawmakers Manish Sisodia and Mahua Moitra criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for remaining silent, with Sisodia stating "a nation of 1.4 billion people" cannot be defined by such rhetoric.
- These comments precede a planned visit next month to India by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who seeks to address recent tensions between the historically allied nations.
