Former U.S. President Donald Trump has raised concerns about the Biden administration’s involvement in India’s electoral process, questioning whether the U.S. government attempted to influence the formation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. Trump’s remarks come in response to reports suggesting that USAID (United States Agency for International Development) funded programs that could have impacted India’s elections.

Speaking at a recent event, Trump criticized the Biden administration for allegedly using federal resources to interfere in India’s internal affairs. He questioned whether such actions were aimed at preventing Modi’s government from securing another term. Trump, who has often praised Modi and maintained strong ties with India during his presidency, expressed his disapproval of any external interference in democratic processes.

The controversy stems from reports that USAID provided grants to certain organizations in India, which some claim had the potential to influence public opinion. While USAID has defended its funding as part of broader democratic initiatives, critics argue that such programs could be perceived as interference in India’s sovereignty.

Trump’s comments have further intensified debates over the Biden administration’s foreign policy approach toward India. With the upcoming U.S. elections, Trump has increasingly positioned himself as a strong supporter of India, emphasizing his good relationship with Modi and criticizing Biden’s diplomatic strategies.

As the discussion unfolds, the Biden administration has yet to officially respond to Trump’s accusations. However, political analysts suggest that this issue could become a talking point in U.S.-India relations, especially as both countries navigate their strategic partnership in a rapidly changing global landscape.
