The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday it had "seen some reports" about US President Donald Trumpresharinga letter on his social media platform, which referred to India and other nations as "hellholes". Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "We've seen some reports. That's where I'll leave it."
Trump on Thursday shared a letter on his social media platform, which referred to India and other nations as "hellholes". The letter slammed birthright citizenship, calling it a scam that turns America into a "Savage Nation." The remarks were reportedly made by prominent conservative author and radio host Michael Savage in a podcast, who claimed the current legal system allows immigrants to exploit American laws by arriving in the "ninth month of their pregnancy". The transcript was shared by Trump on his Truth Social.
"A baby here becomes an instant citizen and then they bring in their entire family from China, or India or some other hellhole on the planet," the letter he reshared read.

The comments were originally aired on the Newsmax series The Savage Nation. In the clip, Savage expressed deep frustration with the judicial process, stating, "Today's brief, abbreviated discussion will be about the arguments that I just listened to before the Supreme Court about birthright citizenship. I was somewhat incensed by listening to the arguments because all I heard was legalese being bandied back and forth."
Focusing his criticism on the legal representation involved, Savage remarked that "the person bringing the arguments in favour of flooding America with illegal aliens to change the demographics forever was a Chinese American who looks to me like the classic ACLU attorney. Very smart, very evil, and very devious."
