They have too much money. They are one of the highest taxing countries in the world in our case, we can hardly enter there because their tariffs are too high. I have great respect for India. I have great respect for the Prime Minister. He has just left America but we are giving $ 21 million for voting? In India? What about voting here?”

After DOGE’s decision, India will no longer get this funding. The special thing is that DOGE made this announcement just a few days after the meeting of Trump and PM Modi.
