The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India, through spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, opted not to directly confront U.S. President Donald Trump's derogatory comments referring to India and China as 'hellholes.' Trump's remarks were made on his social media platform, Truth Social, where he shared a transcript from a conservative talk show hosted by Michael Savage. During the show, Savage discussed U.S. birthright citizenship and mentioned individuals from countries like India and China in a negative context. Jaiswal's response was limited, stating, 'We have seen some reports. That's where I leave it.' This incident underscores the complexities and sensitivities in U.S.-India relations, particularly regarding immigration and citizenship issues.
