“Video of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticising US President Donald Trump during the Indian delegation’s visit to the United States, as part of India’s global outreach campaign on Operation Sindoor”
What FACTLY found
This viral video is not related to India’s recent all-party delegation to the US. The video dates back to September 2024 and shows MP Shashi Tharoor speaking about Donald Trump at the Jaipur Literature Festival held in New York, USA, on 10 September 2024. Donald Trump was not the President of the United States at that time.
