Donald Trump Hints at USAID Meddling in India’s Elections: ‘They Were Trying to Get Somebody Else Elected

Donald Trump Hints at USAID Meddling in India’s Elections: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday night made a huge claim against the Biden administration. He accused the Biden administration of interfering in Indian elections after the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) decided to stop $21 million grant for increasing "voter turnout" in India.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump supported the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) 's decision to scrap the $21 million fund marked for 'Voter Turnout in India'. In a press conference, Trump questioned the donation, saying he has great respect for PM Narendra Modi but that giving as much as $21 million to India as a voter turnout fund is not justified.

Donald Trump backed Elon Musk's DOGE decision and said India is “one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of US”.

Speaking at Saudi Arabia government-backed FII Priority Summit in Miami on Wednesday night, Trump said, "Why do we need to spend $21 million on voter turnout in India? I guess they (Biden administration) were trying to get somebody else elected. We have got to tell the Indian Government. This is a total breakthrough."

"Why are we giving USD 21 million to India? They have a lot more money. They are one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us; we can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high. I have a lot of respect for India and their Prime Minister, but giving USD 21 million for voter turnout?" Trump said at Mar-a-Lago.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump also accused Zelenskyy of poor governance and refusing to hold elections, writing, "On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is 'MISSING.' He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden 'like a fiddle.' A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a country left."
