Trump's 'hellhole' remark sparks anger
A diplomatic furor has erupted after President Trump reposted a podcast clip in which conservative host Michael Savage called India and China 'hellhole' places.
The Indian government has formally criticized the remarks, stating they do not reflect the reality of the strong bilateral relationship built on mutual respect.
This controversy follows Trump's previous attacks on NATO allies and has raised concerns about his 'America First' rhetoric alienating key strategic partners.
The U.S. Embassy has scrambled to emphasize Trump's past praise for India in an attempt to contain the fallout.
