During a press conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Donald Trump struggled to understand a question from an Indian reporter about the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India. Trump interrupted, saying, "I can’t understand a word he’s saying." The reporter was asking about rising anti-India sentiments in the U.S. and how the extradition might be received in India. This interaction has gained attention on social media. This incident follows a similar exchange earlier this month, where Trump had difficulty understanding an Afghan journalist's question. In both cases, he commented on the reporters' accents.
