Americans are ready to elect a new president on November 3.
In the final presidential debate before the November 3 election, President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden touched on various topics, but many Indians reacted on social media to a comment on India’s air quality.
During the debate, Trump criticized the issue of air quality in India, calling it “disgusting.” He was defending his government’s decision to exit the Paris Agreement to cut emissions.
“Look at China, how disgusting it is. Look at Russia. Look at India. The air is dirty. I got out of the Paris Agreement because we had to get billions of dollars and they treated us very unfairly, “he said.
In response to Trump’s comment, Biden said that climate change was a “threat to humanity” and that we have a “moral obligation to deal with it.”

The comment saw a lot of reactions from people on social media:

Trump is called a racist for saying that India is dirty.
The facts are racist, apparently. pic.twitter.com/fRBx5TFTIL

Dirty India…. a very sad statement from Trump. I hope the Prime Minister of India will take note and respond.
