India has strongly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for referring to the country as a “hellhole” in a reshared anti-immigration post. The Ministry of External Affairs described the remark as “uninformed, inappropriate and in poor taste,” stressing that it misrepresents India’s image and undermines strong bilateral ties. India also highlighted the depth of its strategic partnership with the United States across trade, defence, and technology.
