On the evening of November 11, Trump reposted on Truth Social an excerpt from a speech by conservative podcast host Michael Savage about birthright citizenship, which read (translated): 'A baby automatically becomes a citizen at birth, and then they bring their whole family over from China, India, or some other hellhole on Earth.' The remarks sparked a strong backlash in India. India's Foreign Ministry subsequently condemned them as 'clearly ignorant, inappropriate, and in poor taste,' saying they did not reflect the reality of U.S.-India relations. Opposition figures, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, also posted criticism. Trump and Modi have close ties, but relations between the two countries have cooled since the U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on India. The tariffs were reduced to 18% this February.
