Kangana Ranaut's Controversial Remarks on Trump
Known for her provocative statements, BJP leader and MP from Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, has once again made headlines following her recent tweet about former U.S. President Donald Trump. In her tweet, she compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Trump, referring to Modi as the 'father of all alpha males.' This comment came in response to Trump's remarks during a business event in Doha, where he discussed Apple's expansion in India. Trump mentioned that he had spoken with Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, and claimed he told Cook that he did not want him to manufacture in India.
Kangana Deletes Tweet Following Instructions
However, she later removed the tweet, stating that the esteemed national president, JP Nadda, had called her and requested the deletion of her post regarding Trump's comments about Apple. She expressed regret for sharing her personal opinion and confirmed that she promptly deleted it from Instagram as well. Thank you.
Trump's Comments on Apple's Investment in India
It is noteworthy that during the business event in Doha, Trump humorously remarked about having a slight issue with Tim Cook. He acknowledged that Apple has made a significant investment of $500 billion and expressed concerns about the company's growing presence in India. Trump pointed out that high tariffs in India make it challenging for American companies to sell their products there, jokingly suggesting that he would prefer Apple to focus more on domestic manufacturing rather than overseas. His comments have raised questions about Apple's plans to produce most of its iPhones in India by the end of 2024, especially amid rising tariffs and diplomatic tensions as the tech giant seeks to reduce its reliance on China.
Kangana's Regretful Tweet
Respected national president Shri @JPNadda ji called and asked me to delete the tweet I had posted regarding Trump asking Apple CEO Tim Cook not to manufacture in India.
