Chapter 1: Why is India furious with Donald Trump?

0.189 - 25.007 Ben Meiselas

India is furious at the Trump regime right now. This is not being reported at all by American media, but it is being reported in India. Let me explain to you why India is furious. There's three main reasons. Number one, Donald Trump was taking credit for brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan after the terrorist attacks in Kashmir.

0

25.467 - 48.781 Ben Meiselas

India's saying Trump had nothing to do with it at all. It's strictly bilateral discussions between India and Pakistan. And India is saying by Donald Trump pretending that he got involved in it, it actually makes India look weak when India said we negotiated this on our own based on the strength of the Indian military. Stop interfering, Donald Trump. Another reason

49.241 - 73.563 Ben Meiselas

is that Donald Trump's been misrepresenting that he has some trade deal with India that hasn't taken place. And Trump said that he basically used trade as a carrot to broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. And again, that makes India look weak. And India is saying that's not true. We don't have a deal. We're only going to do a deal that's in the interest of India.

73.963 - 98.643 Ben Meiselas

Stop lying about our negotiations and our discussions. And along those lines as well, remember Donald Trump attacked Apple, the company Apple, for saying it was going to move factories to India because Donald Trump said that. That was an end run around his tariffs against China. He said he called Tim Cook and said, don't build factories in India.

0

99.044 - 125.612 Ben Meiselas

So India is like, why the hell are you telling Apple not to develop factories in India? That's screwed up. And then finally, the third reason why India is absolutely pissed, and there's deeper levels of complexity here, I'm overgeneralizing it, is that the Trump family seems to have done a crypto deal with Pakistan and with the Pakistan government. And Indian officials are basically saying,

126.412 - 151.002 Ben Meiselas

Is Donald Trump going to be changing his policies toward India? Is Donald Trump engaging in behavior that's pissing off the country of India right now because Trump's family, which has a 60 percent stake in this WLFI, this World Liberty Financial Company? Is that why Donald Trump's position with India has changed? So let's break down all three of these things.

151.582 - 168.088 Ben Meiselas

And why don't we bring you directly some great reporting from India itself? And then we'll break down this kind of one by one. I want to give a shout out here to Vantage Media, show Vantage with Palki Sharma. They do a really good job here.

168.468 - 193.808 Ben Meiselas

And in this first clip I want to show you from the show, they talk about how this is India's external affairs minister saying that the negotiations regarding ceasefire between India and Pakistan is being handled on a bilateral basis. And this host, by the way, Palki Sharma, is incredible. I mean, I think that she's a very strong host, you know, at least here. Here, play this clip.

193.988 - 217.95 Palki Sharma

The amount of ignorance out there. Like we've said before, the Kashmir issue is not thousands of years old. It dates back to 1947. Also, what's this obsession with trade? Kashmir is a deeply emotional issue for India and Pakistan. You think they would settle it over trade? Pakistan may need the money, but India is under no such pressure. Today, Foreign Minister S.J.

Chapter 2: What claims has Trump made about India-Pakistan relations?

444.429 - 458.002 J.D. Vance (quoted)

India has only followed its military operations. If Pakistan again shows the activity of terrorism or military malice, then we will see its face broken.

0

463.627 - 483.084 Donald Trump

Just to be clear, India has confirmed getting calls from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio right before the ceasefire. But while Pakistan later thanked Donald Trump for the truce, India doesn't acknowledge any U.S. role. It's also pushed back on Trump's claim that trade even came up.

0

483.624 - 492.21 Donald Trump

Instead, Delhi says it won't fall for what Prime Minister Modi called nuclear blackmail from Pakistan. And it's sticking to this one line.

0

492.49 - 500.175 Marco Rubio

Let me be clear. It was the force of Indian arms that compelled Pakistan to stop its firing.

0

500.535 - 529.689 Ben Meiselas

Now, let me show you what World Life Liberty posted about their deal with Pakistan's crypto council. This is from April 28th, 2025. So about six days after the terrorist attack in Kashmir, here's what WLFI posted. Historic moment, WLFI has officially signed an MOU with Pakistan. It was an incredible experience meeting with Pakistan Crypto Council and the leaders shaping the future of crypto.

530.049 - 546.413 Ben Meiselas

We're proud to be building with Pakistan to drive innovation forward. This is just the beginning. I'll play you about 30 seconds of this hype video. But mind you, the Trump family has a 60% stake in this WLFI as it's been reported. Play this clip.

546.493 - 554.334 Unknown Speaker

It's an absolute pleasure to have all three of you today in Pakistan. We were in Islamabad earlier and now in Lahore.

554.674 - 573.898 Scott Besant

Tell me, how has Pakistan been for you? They want to participate in the digital financial ecosystem. They want to participate in what the future of finance looks like. And you really have to come here to see it. And we thank you and, of course, all of your countrymates for their hospitality. It's been nothing short of excellent.

581.144 - 602.221 Ben Meiselas

Now, let me flesh out some of these clips as well that has really made India furious. I mean, and you've seen him there in those other clips that I played for you. But here's Donald Trump on his most recent interview with Bret Baier saying that everyone knows that without me, the N-word would have been in place.
