In New Delhi, auto-rickshaws are now featuring portraits of U.S. President Donald Trump with the slogan 'Happy Birthday America!' as part of a campaign to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence. Approximately 100 rickshaws are displaying these images, which were introduced by the U.S. Embassy in India. While the initiative aims to strengthen U.S.-India relations, many drivers are indifferent to the campaign's significance.
