KATHMANDU: Balen Shah, the Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), has thanked US President Donald Trump for making Nepali citizens feel that their country is better.
Responding to Trump’s comments about fraud in US aid to Nepal, Mayor Shah took to social media to express his gratitude.
Shah said that Trump’s remarks made Nepalis appreciate their own country’s strengths.
He also suggested that Americans should recognize that their country’s struggles stem from the lack of effort by its own citizens, and emphasized that the rest of the world plays a crucial role in their progress.
Shah wrote: “Dear Donald J. Trump,
Thank you for making us realise our country is better than yours. We are poor because our people are leaving our country.
You are poor that your people cannot build your country; you lazy people need rest of the world for it. Please stop your lust (DV) slavery as well; we shall get our gems back. Ban rest of the world from your country, and let the world grow.”
Additionally, Mayor Shah called for the closure of the Diversity Visa (DV) program, arguing that it should be banned to provide opportunities for others around the world to move forward.
