The image that described India and China as hellholes on the planet in a rant about birthright citizenship has thrown US President Donald Trump into a diplomatic row after reposting a letter on Truth Social about the two countries. The article alleged that immigrants of these nations are tools of exploitation for the US machinery.

The Ministry of External Affairs in India reacted strongly, with the spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal adding that the comments are not only uninformed but also inappropriate and in bad taste. He also stated that this type of comment is not a picture of the India-US relationship, as there has always been an existence of mutual respect and interest.

The US embassy in New Delhi later confirmed that Trump considers India to be a great nation with an amazing friend at the top. The episode has been widely debated on the internet as more India-US trade goes on.
