Evidence

The following day, Trump publicly took the time to defend Narendra Modi’s anti-Muslim citizenship bill when he told reporters about the CAA: “I don’t want to discuss that. I want to leave that to India.” By not even discussing it, Trump tacitly endorsed Modi’s anti-Muslim policies and later told the same press corps that Modi was “incredible” on the issue of religious freedom. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 192
