The U.S. Embassy in India is installing “Happy Birthday America” themed auto-rickshaws in New Delhi to help mark America250, the 250th anniversary of the United States. Several outlets report that motorized rickshaws across parts of the city now display images of President Donald Trump alongside the American flag and the message “Happy Birthday America!” Some reports describe the campaign as appearing over the past few weeks and involving around a hundred vehicles. One source says U.S. Ambassador Sergio Gor is behind the rollout as part of wider America250 programming in multiple countries.
Another outlet reports that the embassy is providing vehicle covers bearing Trump’s face and the U.S. flag, which are then used on the widely used three-wheeled taxi rickshaws. While the reports focus on the visual presence of Trump’s portrait on the vehicles, they consistently frame the move as a public awareness and anniversary celebration connected to America250 rather than as paid commercial advertising. The campaign is limited to the embassy’s initiatives and local vehicle coverings distributed for the occasion.
