India, Russia, China dirtiest on air pollution: Trump

(PTI) Washington, Ta. 23 October 2020, Friday

In the final presidential debate before the US presidential election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'friend' Donald Trump vented his anger on India, Russia and China for climate change in the world. Trump called India and Russia the dirtiest countries in terms of air pollution.

Justifying his withdrawal of the US name from the "inappropriate" Paris climate agreement, Donald Trump said that China, India and Russia were not taking any steps to rectify their "bad weather" while the US was always concerned about its air quality.

The US presidential election is scheduled for November 3. The second presidential debate, scheduled for October 15, was canceled after Trump refused to discuss the online debate. The third and final presidential debate between US President Trump and Democrat candidate Joe Biden took place on Friday morning, Indian time. India, Russia and China were the main topics of discussion in the debate.

Trump reiterated his decision to remove the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, saying the agreement made the United States an "unrivaled nation." He said India, Russia and China have a poor record in the fight against climate change.

"We have made a number of rules for clean air," he said during a debate with his rival and Democratic candidate Joe Biden. "I know a lot more about clean air than Biden," Trump said, attacking Biden. The United States has low carbon emissions. Look at China, how dirty the air is there. Look at Russia, look at India. The air here is dirty. They are breaking records in this fight for climate change.

The air in India, China, Russia is so bad that it is difficult to breathe there. I was leaving the Paris Agreement because we had been treated so badly. Trump has repeatedly claimed that countries like India and China benefit the most from the Paris Agreement, while business in the United States has collapsed.

Claiming that he loves the environment, Trump said, "I will not sacrifice millions of jobs and thousands of companies because of the Paris Agreement. This is very inappropriate. ' Earlier, the two leaders did not shake hands due to Koro's transition. Last year, the United States formally withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Responding to Trump, Biden said climate change is a big issue in the world, but Trump always takes it as a joke when it is dangerous for the whole of humanity. We have prepared this plan. Jobs will also be provided through it. We want to focus on renewable energy instead of oil energy. Biden promised to invest in 50,000 charging stations on the highway to develop the electric car market.

"If I become president, I will negotiate the Paris Agreement again and blame China for the pollution," he said. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change, signed in 2015, was a global agreement that Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, played a key role in implementing.

The Paris Climate Agreement was intended to reduce global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius with good efforts. However, Trump withdrew the US name from it in 2017, claiming that the agreement was unfair to the US. However, Trump's move drew strong criticism around the world.

Opposition tries to surround Modi with 'Howdy Modi' hashtag

After Trump's remarks on India, there was a trend of 'Howdy Modi' on Twitter

100 crore was spent in the country to welcome Trump while Trump is calling India dirty

Controversial remarks made by President Donald Trump about India in the third and final presidential debate of the US presidential election became a topic of discussion in India. Users and the opposition on social media tried to surround the Modi government with the hashtag 'Howdy Modi', citing Trump's remarks.

Donald Trump defended his move to withdraw from the Paris Climate Change Agreement, citing "bad air" in India. In this regard, with the hashtag 'Howdy Modi' on Twitter, several users and leaders of the Opposition slammed the Modi government. Prime Minister Modi held a program with Trump last year in Houston, the stronghold of the Republican Party in Texas, which was dubbed 'Howdy Modi'.

As one Twitter user put it, Trump is not wrong. He presented screenshots of the app showing the level of pollution in the capital Delhi and surrounding areas and the app showing the level of pollution in the US. It had Delhi's air quality index at 567 while in Washington it was only 25. He wrote that there is no need to just give the knowledge of pollution free Diwali.

Will Indian Prime Minister Howdy Modi reconsider his alleged support for Trump's candidacy during such statements, said senior researcher and columnist Michael Kugalman? One user wrote that Trump called India a dirty country while Rs 100 crore was spent in the country for his reception. This is a shame for us.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal sarcastically targeted the government. Sibley tweeted that the Prime Minister's visit to the United States in September last year (especially the Houston Rally) was yielding good results. The Prime Minister claimed close ties between the two countries.

But Trump has cast a shadow over Kovid's death in India. India's air is considered dirty and also called the Tariff King. After Donald Trump's remarks, Twitter users in India started trending 'Hashtag Philrudhi India' and 'Hashtag Howdy Modi'.
