A video showing a man, identified as an Indian journalist, asking a question during a press conference is being shared on social media.
In the video, a woman dressed in green appears to laugh at the man, making fun of him as he asks his question.
The claim: The video is being shared as one from a recent joint press conference held by US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, 14 February 2025.
Those sharing it have claimed that it shows American journalists, "laughing at the stupidity of India’s brainless spineless journalists during the joint Trump-Modi press conference!"
How did we find out the truth?: We ran a reverse image search on the video using Google Lens, which led us to several news reports and social media posts from 2020.
One such report by Lokmat Times, which shared information by news agency IANS, was published on 28 February 2020.
It said that during a press conference by Trump at the White House, a New York Post reporter appeared to "make faces at" an Indian journalist while he asked a question.
A keyword search using 'NY Post journalist mocks Indian reporter' led us to another report by India Today carrying a screenshot of the viral video, published in February 2020.
In the video, the Indian report can be heard saying, "...scientific and medical team behind you and with you, and I'm sure that they will keep America safe."
We found the same question in an archive of Trump's remarks on the White House's website, titled 'Remarks by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force in Press Conference'.
Conclusion: An old video of a reporter making fun of an Indian journalist is being shared as a recent clip from the Trump-Modi press conference.
