President Trump dismissed the idea of US deep state involvement in the regime change in Bangladesh and directed questions regarding the matter to Indian Prime Minister Modi.
The two leaders made these remarks during a Q&A session in the Oval Office at the White House ahead of their crucial meeting. A journalist posed a question to President Trump, asking, “What are your thoughts on the Bangladesh issue, given the clear involvement of the US deep state in regime change during the Biden administration? Also, Muhammad Yunus met with Junior Soros. What is your perspective on the situation in Bangladesh?”
Before PM Modi could respond to the other parts of the question regarding India’s relationship with the US, particularly in relation to Russia and India’s peace message on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, President Trump answered.
Trump denied any involvement by the US deep state and did not elaborate further, leaving the matter for Modi to address. “There was no role for our deep state. This is something the prime minister has been working on for a long time, for hundreds of years, really. I’ve read about it, but I’ll leave Bangladesh to the prime minister.”
Modi answered questions about the Russia-Ukraine war, praised Trump’s efforts, and emphasized India’s stance of peace. However, he did not comment on the Bangladesh issue.
This marks Modi’s first visit to the US since Trump took office. He previously visited in 2014 during Barack Obama’s presidency.
Before meeting with Trump, Modi had discussions with several key figures, including Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard (Department of Government Efficiency), Director of National Intelligence, Vivek Ramaswamy, and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.
