U.S. President Donald Trump has come under fire for sharing a video featuring conservative commentator Michael Savage, who made derogatory remarks about immigrants from India and China. Savage claimed that current immigration laws allow pregnant immigrants to exploit the system, leading to instant citizenship for their children. Trump has a documented history of making disparaging comments about various countries, including referring to African nations and Haiti as 'shithole countries' in 2018. His remarks have drawn sharp criticism from the Indian government, with the Ministry of External Affairs labeling them as uninformed and inappropriate.
