'They have a lot more money': US President Donald Trump questions $21 million USAID fund for 'voter turnout' in India

“他们的钱比我们多多了”：美国总统唐纳德·特朗普质疑美国国际开发署向印度提供2100万美元用于“提高选民投票率”一事

NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday asked the purpose behind providing $21 million to India for "voter turnout" and said that the country is "one of the highest taxng countries in the world". This came after Elon Musk-led DOGE’s (Department of Government Efficiency) disclosed that USAID contributed $21 million to EC allegedly for boosting voter turnout.

"Why are we giving $21 million to India? They have a lot more money. They are one of the highest taxng countries in the world in terms of us; we can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high," he asked while signing executive orders at Mar-a-Lago.

新德里：本周三，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对向印度提供2100万美元用于“提高选民投票率”的背后意图提出质疑，并表示印度是“世界上税率最高的国家之一”。此前，埃隆·马斯克领导的政府效率部（DOGE）披露，美国国际开发署据称向印度选举委员会提供了2100万美元，以推动选民投票率提升。

“我们为什么要给印度2100万美元？他们的钱比我们多多了。从我们的角度看，他们是世界上税率最高的国家之一，我们几乎很难进入印度市场，因为他们的关税太高了。”特朗普在海湖庄园签署行政命令时如此问道。

Categorically mentioning that he had "a lot of respect" for PM Narendra Modi, Trump questioned the funding. "I have a lot of respect for India and their prime minister, but giving $21 million for voter turnout?" he said. The two leaders recently held bilateral talks where they discussed trade, illegal immigration, defence and energy, among other key sectors.

The Musk-led department had last week shared a list of areas from where it had decided to revoke the US aid. One of those included -- "$21M for voter turnout in India" -- prompting political slugfest between the BJP and the Congress in the country.

特朗普明确表示，他“非常尊重”印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪，但仍对这笔资金提出质疑。“我非常尊重印度及其总理，但为了提高选民投票率就给2100万美元？”他说道。两位领导人近期举行了双边会谈，就贸易、非法移民、国防和能源等关键领域展开了讨论。

上周，马斯克领导的部门公布了一份决定取消美国援助的领域清单。其中一项便是“给印度提高选民投票率的2100万美元”，这一举动在印度国内引发了印度人民党（BJP）和国大党之间的政治争论。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

Thanks Mr. Trump, we are never interested in such peanuts.. We Indians spends more than it in weddings..

感谢特朗普先生，这点小钱，我们压根瞧不上。我们印度人一场婚礼的花销，都比这多得多。

John
Since last 12 years no problem with peanuts!?

过去12年，对这点蝇头小利都没有过意见？！

Prime Minister MODI is the CHAIRPERSON of NITIAayog.
Over the years since 2016, NITI Aayog and USAID have not only discussed but have even collaborated a lot of times.
So the Prime Minister was always on front leading all the collaborations with USAID.
In that case then as per his party’s view on USAID, Modi is the one working for DEEP STATE.

莫迪总理乃印度国家转型委员会主席。自2016年起，这些年来，印度国家转型委员会与美国国际开发署不仅有过诸多商讨，还多次携手合作。如此一来，总理始终处在与美国国际开发署各项合作的前沿。照其所在政党对美国国际开发署的看法，那莫迪就是在为“深层政府”效力。

Kunal
Ohh yes.. India, the country with income per capita of $ 3k is spending "lot more" on weddings. Lol..

哦，可不是嘛……印度，这个人均收入才3000美元的国家，在婚礼上的花费却“多得多”。呵呵……

Tilakdhari
Interesting.
According to the Government’s official website, Ms. Smriti Irani’s bio states that she has served as the USAID “Goodwill Ambassador” to India.
Does this imply that BJP politicians are the real agents of George Soros?

有意思。据政府官方网站显示，斯姆里蒂·伊朗尼女士的个人简介称，她曾担任美国国际开发署驻印度的“亲善大使”。这是否意味着印度人民党（BJP）的政客们才是乔治·索罗斯的真正代理人呢？

Nice story Tilak. BJP taking money from Soros to remove themselves from power. Who is giving these ideas to you. Sam uncle of RaGa? Davos is international forum, which includes business men, policy makers, politicians, activists and so on. Like Jaipur Literature festival which include everyone in every walk of life and anybody can say anything. The recent exposure is that lots of players are involved Soros, Sam Pitroda, Chinese embassy officials, Freedom foundation, Veena Reddy from USAID and selective Indian journalists getting funding through different external sources. USAID is one such thing, through their think - tank, they fund different NGOs to push their agenda in respective nations. This was revealed by ex - USAID employee in a whistleblower. Indian governments should have been careful not to succumb to such NGOs, just because we are getting forex in India. USAID in a broad spectrum working with various countries is common. The only thing is that certain funds chanalised for pushing their agenda, which India should resist. There was no audit for any of the spending by many NGOs and when questioned, there was stiff resistance and people started targeting freedom of speech curtailment. India had enough incidence of external playing havoc. It happened during Indira Gandhi time in 70s, later in 90s when loosely formed alliance was in power between 96 to 98. IK Gujral govt had worst of the foreign interference.

故事编得不错啊。说印度人民党拿索罗斯的钱，好让自己下台。谁给你灌输的这些想法？拉胡尔·甘地的山姆大叔？达沃斯是个国际论坛，参与者有商人、政策制定者、政客、活动家等等。就像斋浦尔文学节，各行各业的人都能参与，谁都能畅所欲言。最近曝光的情况显示，很多势力都牵涉其中，像索罗斯、山姆·皮特罗达、中国大使馆官员、自由基金会、美国国际开发署的维娜·雷迪，还有部分印度记者，他们通过各种外部渠道获取资金。美国国际开发署就是其中一环，他们通过智囊团，资助不同的非政府组织，在各个国家推行自己的议程。这是一名前美国国际开发署雇员爆料的。

印度政府本就该谨慎行事，别只因能在国内获得外汇，就向这类非政府组织屈服。从广泛意义上讲，美国国际开发署与多个国家合作很常见。问题在于，部分资金被用于推进特定议程，印度理应抵制这种行为。很多非政府组织的开支都没有审计，一旦有人质疑，就遭到强烈抵制，还会有人拿限制言论*由说事。印度遭遇外部势力搅局的情况已经够多了。20世纪70年代英迪拉·甘地执政时就有，后来90年代，在1996 - 1998年松散联盟执政期间也发生过。伊克巴尔·古杰拉尔政府时期，遭受的外国干涉最为严重。

Smriti Iranai was using that money to spead her Hindutva terror agenda.

斯姆里蒂·伊朗尼当时在利用这笔钱推行她的印度教极端主义恐怖议程。

We? Only idiots spend it on marriage most of Indians don’t even earn more than $2480 yearly and yet you had the audacity of blabbering about your foolishness? When will you bhakts recognise the third world country status that is bestowed upon India since its independence? Prior it was socialism and now it’s radicalism both enemy of capitalism and development. You do understand that had it not been of the USAID donations many areas in central India and Kashmir would not even vote in any election?

我们？只有蠢货才会把钱花在婚礼上。大多数印度人一年挣的都不到2480美元，可你居然还有脸在这胡言乱语？你们这些盲目追随者什么时候才能认清，印度自独立以来就一直处于第三世界国家的地位？以前是社会主义，现在是激进主义，这两者都是zb主义和发展的敌人。你难道不明白，如果没有美国国际开发署的捐款，印度中部很多地区以及克什米尔地区，可能连选举投票都不会有吗？

It is about Ambani's wedding.

这说的是安巴尼家的婚礼吧。

Another twist, Reliance foundation whose Chairperson is NITA AMBANI has been very very close with USAID. Reliance foundation committed 10 million dollars with USAID.
This Deep State thing is really DEEP.

又有新情况，信实基金会主席是妮塔·安巴尼，该基金会与美国国际开发署关系极为密切。信实基金会向美国国际开发署承诺投入1000万美元。这“深层政府”的事儿，水可真深啊。

KP
Do you even understand the difference in receiving money vs donating money for a cause which is also backed by USAID. Just because USAID is involved it's some deep state controversy that Reliance foundation is now involved?
USAID does many charity work but over time the agency was used as a front by the deep state and CIA to funnel money under false pretext for influence and to fund chaos like what happened in Bangladesh, farmers protest, Shahin Bagh, etc.

你到底懂不懂接受资金和为某个同样受美国国际开发署支持的项目捐款之间的区别？就因为美国国际开发署参与其中，就说信实基金会也卷入了什么“深层政府”争议？美国国际开发署做了很多慈善工作，但久而久之，这个机构被“深层政府”和中央情报局当成幌子，以虚假借口输送资金，以施加影响力，还资助引发混乱的活动，就像在孟加拉国发生的事、农民抗议活动、沙欣巴格事件等等。

Improving Voter's turn around? Really the money went to Raul Ghandu

提高选民投票率？这钱恐怕是进了拉胡尔·甘地的腰包吧。

Typsy Gypsy
Moron... only 1 publicity seeking family has spent over $ 21 million on a wedding... that too the over invoicing by suppliers/contractors would have returned cash back to the family who in turn funnel it into the ruling party coffers... You should be intelligent enough to understand that!!!

蠢货，只是一个爱出风头的家族，一场婚礼就花了2100多万美元。而且供应商或承包商虚开发票，又会把钱返给这个家族，然后这个家族再把钱塞进执政党腰包。你应该有点脑子，能明白这事儿吧！

Dev S
All this money went to non state actors including lefties, jhadies, mizonaris and kangress type parties

这笔钱都进了非国家行为体的口袋，包括左翼分子、极端分子、分裂分子以及像国大党这类政党。

Arrest Ex CEC Querashi and question him!

That USAID to "boost voters turnout" is actually spent on influencing Indian elections.

美国国际开发署所谓“提高选民投票率”的这笔钱，实际上是用来影响印度选举的。

Most Muslims anywhere in the World including India (US inc as well ) Vote in Flocks based on Ideology rather than based on Party Policies which is a grave threat to any Democracy, such Muslims Voting Rights Must be REVOKED also GOI

世界上大多数地方，包括印度（美国也一样）的msl，往往成群结队地基于意识形态投票，而非基于政党政策，这对任何民诸制度都是严重威胁，这些msl的投票权必须被剥夺，印度政府也该这么做。

Mondal
Who votes in the name of Ram mandir, Hindutva, Mahakumbh??

谁会以罗摩神庙、印度教特性、大壶节的名义投票呢？

David Dchuna
What about Hindus? Voting in flocks for Modi because of his hate agenda against Muslims? What about Hindus in the US and Canada who keep praising Modi and how great he has made India and bad mouth the countries they live in and their bad culture, yet never want to go back to Modis paradise.

那印度教徒呢？他们因为莫迪针对msl的仇恨议程而集体投票给他？在美国和加拿大的印度教徒，一个劲儿夸赞莫迪，说他把印度建设得多么好，却诋毁他们所在的国家以及当地文化，可又从不想回到莫迪的“天堂”（印度）。这又怎么说？

Vinod
Mr David most of your churches and the people killed in your community was not done by Modi but your step brothers did it by terrorism and bomb blast. I think you forgot the twin Sri Lanka church blast in which more than 500 innocent lives lost. Hope you know how jihadis kidnapped raped 250 girls from a school in Nigeria. In which world r u living Mr. David. Since Modi 2014 we have never heard about any major bomb blas5 in which innocent people killed. In Kashmir it happened and now also things of the past. Reason the terrorist are not alive anymore. So Modi is not only for Hindus it is for Christians as well to live peacefully in India. Do not listen to your pastors they are brain washing your community and instead use your own brain and have a clear mind.

你们社区里大多数教堂遇袭以及民众遇害，可不是莫迪干的，而是你们的“同教兄弟”通过恐怖袭击和炸弹爆炸干的。我想你忘了斯里兰卡两座教堂爆炸案吧，那次事件中500多名无辜民众丧生。希望你也知道，在尼日利亚，圣战分子从一所学校绑架并强奸了250名女孩。你到底生活在怎样一个世界里啊

自2014年莫迪执政以来，我们从未听说过有造成无辜民众死亡的重大炸弹袭击事件。克什米尔以前发生过这类事，但现在也都成为过去了。原因是恐怖分子已经被消灭了。所以，莫迪不仅是为了印度教徒，也是为了让基督徒能在印度和平生活。别听你们牧师的，他们在给你们社区洗脑，你得自己动脑子，保持清醒。

Quraishi was a Congress nominee. ROT IN CONGRESS's COFFIN

库拉希是国大党提名的人。让他在国大党的棺材里烂掉吧。

The funding was to overthrow the de ocratically elected govt by the self glorified and certified protector of Democracy..Biden administration was full of hypocrites and big cheats..

这笔资金是为了推番民选政府，而背后主使是那些自封且自诩为民 主捍卫者的人，拜登政府全是伪君子和大骗子。

Deepak Lotliker
Did India ever ask US to give us this sort of money?

印度什么时候向美国要过这种钱？

Ram Niwas Goyal
It is absolutely incorrect and vehemently denied that the US Administration funded $21 Million to Election Commission of India for “voter turnout”. As a matter of fact, the dubious funds of $21 Million besides other substantial amounts were descretly funneled and channelized to the ultra leftist forces to defeat the top BJP leader and the most popular Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and to install a puppet government to be headed by Rahul Gandhi or his minions.

所谓美国政府向印度选举委员会提供2100万美元用于“提高选民投票率”，这完全是无稽之谈，我们坚决否认。事实上，这2100万美元可疑资金，以及其他大量资金，都被偷偷输送并引导给极左翼势力，目的是击败印度人民党高层领导人、印度最受欢迎的总理纳伦德拉·莫迪，然后扶植一个由拉胡尔·甘地或其爪牙领导的傀儡政府。
