1) Questions India’s COVID death toll
2) Says India sends dirt up into the air
India “ air is filthy “
3) Called India “ tariff king “
The result of “Howdy Modi “ !
Trump's remarks in February this year were met with some resentment, although referring to the support of the Grand "Howdy, Modi" event in February this year, some agreed that the air was indeed "dirty" but the rhetoric he used was not fair.
"I will not close millions of jobs ... thousands of companies because of the Paris Accord. It is very unfair," he said.
Know what’s filthy?

That Modi shamelessly campaigned for Trump, risked the lives of lakhs of Indians for him in the middle of a pandemic, & insulted the chair of the Indian PM by constantly prostrating in front of him due to his personal inferiority complex.
Trump's remarks came as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Asper visited New Delhi to discuss the proper implementation of the US-India partnership.
For the second time, Trump criticized India during a debate. In the first presidential debate, Trump questioned India's coronavirus data.
Also, the US President has repeatedly blamed countries like India and China for not adequately addressing and changing climate change.
India is the fourth highest emitter of carbon dioxide in 2018, accounting for 7 percent of global emissions in 2018, according to Global Carbon Project data released in December 2017.
