New Delhi. President Donald Trump has once again reacted to the decision to stop US funding to increase voting turnout in India. He said why do we need to spend $20 million to increase voting percentage in India?
Addressing the FII Priority Summit in Miami, Florida, Trump said why do we have to spend so much money in India? $20 million to increase voting percentage? I think they (Biden administration) wanted to see someone else win in India. We will have to talk to the Indian government about this.
Let us tell you that on February 16, DOGE, led by Elon Musk, announced to stop funding to various countries, which also included an amount of $20 million to promote voting in India. DOGE had said that the US has decided to cut the $20 million program created to increase voting percentage in India.
Actually, the US used to give $20 million 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 tariffs many times. He has said that India is among the countries with the highest tariffs.
