Trump Defends US Decision To Cancel $21m Voter Turnout Fund For India Amid Growing Controversy

US President Donald Trump defended the US decision to cancel $21M voter turnout funding for India, citing India’s high taxation and strong economy.

The move, announced by Elon Musk-led DOGE, sparked backlash in India, with the ruling BJP criticizing Congress and linking the issue to foreign influence.

Congress demanded an investigation, asserting that foreign intervention in elections is unacceptable.

The controversy continues to escalate ahead of India’s upcoming elections.

Tesla Eyes India, Trump Calls Factory Plan "Unfair"—Will Elon Musk Overcome Sky-High EV Tariffs

Tesla Eyes India: Tesla is ramping up its India expansion with plans for showrooms in Mumbai and New Delhi, along with a new recruitment drive. But former U.S. President Donald Trump has called Tesla's potential factory in India "unfair" to the United States, criticizing the country’s 100% import tariffs on electric vehicles. Elon Musk has long argued that these high duties block Tesla's entry into the world's third-largest car market, where domestic automakers like Tata Motors dominate. Will Tesla finally break into India, or will tariffs and political tensions keep Musk’s ambitions in check? #Tesla #ElonMusk #Trump #India #ElectricVehicles #EVMarket #Tariffs #TataMotors #TeslaIndia #BreakingNews #TechNews ~PR.274~HT.334~
