WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump seemed annoyed on Thursday, February 11 evening when he could not understand a question from a reporter.

Donald Trump shares awkward exchange with reporter

During the press conference with the Indian Prime Minister, a reporter asked Donald Trump about his decision to extradite Pakistani national and accused terrorist Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India and the rising anti-India voices in the US, according to the Independent.

Trump started the press briefing and said, "We’ll do a few questions" and then pointed towards the reporter saying "Please. Please go ahead. Yeah, yeah, blue shirt."

The reporter then questioned, "Thank you, Mr President. People in India will naturally welcome your decision to extradite Tahawwur Rana to India back home. In that context, I’d like to ask you a question about… in the last few years, we have seen several groups in the US raising anti-India voice, calling about separation, terrorism activities in India. Do you think that should continue here in the US as well?"

Meanwhile, Trump replied, "You’re going to have to go louder" and the reporter repeated his question.

The POTUS then responded, "I can’t understand a word he’s saying."

However, it is unclear whether Trump struggled with the reporter’s accent or was it an audio issue.

Meanwhile, Trump had earlier shared a similar exchange with an Afghani reporter and told her to "live in peace," per the outlet. 

Last week, Nazira Karimi, an Afghan White House journalist,  asked Trump about US plans for the country to which he replied, "It’s a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. Only problem is I can’t understand a word you’re saying. But, but I just say this. Good luck, live in peace."
