India has strongly criticised Donald Trump after he shared a social media post describing the country as a “hellhole,” calling the remarks “uninformed, inappropriate and in poor taste.” The controversy stems from Trump reposting a transcript of a podcast discussing US birthright citizenship and immigration, which also made negative claims about Indians in the tech sector. New Delhi stressed that such comments do not reflect the reality of India–US relations, which are based on mutual respect and shared interests. The episode risks straining ties that were gradually improving after tensions over tariffs, immigration policies, and geopolitical differences. (PC: Bloomberg)
