Investigation
Recently PM Modi visited the US, where he met Trump.
According to news reports, during this visit, the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including energy, education, trade, technology, AI, and space.
Following their meeting, a joint press conference was held, and videos of which are present in many news reports.

The White House has released the full transcript of this joint press conference held on February 13, 2025, and there is no mention of the viral claim anywhere.
During our investigation, we found several reports stating that Trump expressed support for ballot paper voting in response to a question asked during this press conference.
Trump supported the use of paper ballots for elections while responding to a question about the possibility of potential interference by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in the 2020 US elections and the last year’s elections in India. However, he did not make any remark about India’s election process and its results.
To verify the viral video, we contacted senior TV correspondent (senior editor) Madhurendra Kumar, who covers international affairs. He confirmed that during the joint press conference between Trump and Modi, Trump did not mention anything about India’s election process or EVM ‘fraud’.
The user who shared the viral post has over 21000 followers on Facebook. The factcheck report on the viral claim related to PM Modi’s recent visit to France can be read here.
