President Donald Trump has once again reacted to the decision to stop American funding to increase voting turnouts in India. He said that why do we need to spend two million dollars to increase voting percentage in India?
Trump while addressing the FII Priority Summit in Miami, Florida said that why do we have to spend so much money in India? Two million dollars to increase voting percentage? I think they (Biden Administration) wanted to see someone else winning in India. We have to talk to the Government of India about this.
Let us know that earlier Trump had defended the DOGE decision to stop US funding of $ two million. He questioned the need to give such help to a country like India and said that why are we giving two million dollars to India? They have a lot of money. They are among the highest tax charged countries in the world. Their tariffs are also very high. I respect India and his Prime Minister very much, but why give $ two million for voter turnout?
Let us know that on February 16, led by Elon Musk, Doge announced to stop funding of various countries, including an amount of $ two million to promote voting in India. Doge had said that the US has decided to cut the program of two million dollars made to increase the voting percentage in India.
Actually, America used to give two million dollars to increase voter participation during elections in India. But now India will not get this funding.
It is known that Trump has given statements about India’s increased tariff. He has said that India is one of the countries where the most tariff is.
