New Delhi:
US President Donald Trump referred to what he called the "filthy air" in India, China and Russia as he defended his decision to pull out of the Paris accord and denounced Democrat rival Joe Biden's plans to tackle climate change in a presidential debate today.

"Look at China, how filthy it is. Look at Russia. Look at India. The air is filthy. I walked out of the Paris Accord as we had to take out trillions of dollars and we were treated very unfairly," he said during the second and final debate ahead of the November 3 US polls.

"I will not sacrifice millions of jobs... thousands of companies because of the Paris Accord. It is very unfair," he said at the televised debate in which the two candidates avoided shaking hands due to safety risks.

Joe Biden retorted that climate change is "an existential threat to humanity. We have a moral obligation to deal with it."

"We're going to pass the point of no return within the next eight to 10 years," he said.

Trump's remarks come days before Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper visit New Delhi for talks on building the growing US-India partnership.

This is the second time that Trump has made a critical reference to India during a debate. At the first presidential debate, Trump questioned India's coronavirus data. "When you talk about numbers you don't know how many people died in China, you don't know how many people died in Russia, you don't know how many people died in India. They don't exactly give you a straight count," he had said.


The US Presidents remarks drew sharp reactions in India, with some urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give a strong rebuttal to Trump's statements. Opposition leaders like Congress's Kapil Sibal seized the comments to take a swipe at PM Modi's well-known bonhomie with President Trump.


Political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla urged PM Modi to give a strong response to the US President. "Remember how our IRON LADY Martyr Indira Gandhi ji took on the US and showed Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon their place," he tweeted.


Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi, while expressing regret over the "unfortunate comments" made by the US leader, reminded him that India stands committed to climate change goals.

In 2017, Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, a global agreement in which President Trump's predecessor Barack Obama had played a key role. The Paris climate accord aims to cap global warming "well below" two degrees Celsius.

The US President has repeatedly blamed countries like India and China for not doing enough on climate change.

India is the fourth highest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, accounting for 7 per cent of global emissions in 2017, according to the projection by the Global Carbon Project published in December, 2018.

The top four emitters in 2017, which covered 58 per cent of global emissions, were China (27 per cent), the US (15 per cent), the European Union (10 per cent) and India (7 per cent), it said.

"Look At India, It's Filthy": Donald Trump Shifts Blame On Climate Change

US President Donald Trump today described the air in India, China and Russia as "filthy" as he defended his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, which, he said, would have made America a non-competitive nation.

Truer words have never been spoken, and Trump was being polite by just saying India is filthy.

I would go much further and point out much more, open defecation, garbage in the streets, infrastructure that is crumbling, rape, lawlessness, corruption and much, much more.

And Indians running away like rats to other countries, and then saying how great India is,

Indians are liars, scammers, and cheats.

Lol Trump shakes up the scene again.
I laughed at how the right wing India reacted, literally muted....

In comparison, Pakistan is heaven. Don't even make the comparison LOL

There is a reason why the world unanimously cites India when referring to dirty countries. You are beyond dirty. No doubt about it.

He referred to Russia and China too...the discussion was about climate change.
I dont know why he dragged india and russia into it...The US is second in place in terms of carbon emission after China.
Indias and Russias carbon emission percent is not even half of the US.
Anyway there are tons of videos out there to prove how clean pakistan is(pun intended)

Most of our population is rural, Pakistan has a far lower population density than India, your problems are worse. However I will agree that dirt is a problem.
By the way I'm not mocking you, Trump is. Indians should ask Modi to take him to task.

 

[IceCold]

Now those village boys are in Singapore and USA

No wonder Trump came down hard on H1B visa.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

"Streetegeec ally" strikes again.

Pharrand Modi got Du-lun from Trump.

 

[Menthol]

USA is actually can't afford it.

Their economy and infrastructure are already well developed.

And they already maximized their budget as well.


USA can do it, but it will be slow.

 

[Jinn Baba]

Even after Indians cleaned out their roads and built walls to block shanti towns from Trump's view when he visited, he still thinks the country is dirty now imagine what his view would have been if Indians hadn't cleaned up before his visit

Why blame India, China and Russia alone for not doing enough about pollution and ecosystem destruction ? All countries should participate in removing this problem.

One easy and important way is to immediately abolish privately owned personal transport vehicles worldwide - cars, SUVs, two-wheelers and jeeps. Instead, every country should cut out some of their military budget and install in their country an efficient public transport system ( buses mainly ) and a good taxi system ( for the occasional outing ). This will have the side effects of drastically reducing traffic accidents, crime and commute time.
