New Delhi [India], April 23 (ANI): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday responded to reports that US President Donald Trump reshared a video that referred to India and China in derogatory terms, saying it had “seen some reports” and offering no further comment.
At a weekly media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We’ve seen some reports. That’s where I’ll leave it.”
The remarks followed Trump’s amplification of a critique of birthright citizenship by reposting a video featuring right‑wing author and radio host Michael Savage on Truth Social. In the clip, Savage argues that existing immigration laws can be exploited by people who travel to the US late in pregnancy to secure citizenship for their children, calling it a loophole that allows “a baby here becomes an instant citizen,” followed by family migration from countries including “China or India or some other hellhole on the planet.”
The footage, originally aired on the Newsmax series The Savage Nation, was shared via an account dedicated to reposting the President’s social media activity.
In the clip, Savage expressed frustration with Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship, saying he heard only legal technicalities. He criticised legal advocacy groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), accusing them of promoting mass illegal immigration to change America’s demographics. “The ACLU is the head of the snake,” he said, adding that the issue should be settled by public opinion through a national vote rather than solely by legal interpretation.
