US President Donald Trump has claimed that he canceled $21 million in funding allocated for India. He suggested that the previous US administration may have used this funding to influence the election of a leader other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India.
Trump questioned the reasoning behind the United States providing financial support to increase voter turnout in India, especially considering India’s strong economy. He indicated that this funding might have been intended to support another political figure and stated his intention to share further details with India.
Meanwhile, Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed concern over the matter, noting that it raises serious questions about potential foreign interference in Indian elections. Jaiswal stated that it is too early to draw any conclusions and hoped for an update soon.
