NEW DELHI: Defending the host who has showered him with pomp and pageantry, President Donald Trump refused to speak out publicly against a controversial new Indian citizenship law pushed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that has sparked deadly protests over discrimination against Muslims.
Asked about the law one day after violence in the Indian capital left at least seven people dead, Trump told reporters on Tuesday (Feb 25): "I don't want to discuss that. I want to leave that to India.”
