Vivek Ramaswamy Slams NYC's USD 220 Million Deal With Pakistani-Owned Roosevelt Hotel For Migrants, Calls It ‘Nuts’
Vivek Ramaswamy criticised NYC’s USD 220 million lease of Pakistan-owned Roosevelt Hotel to house migrants, calling it “nuts.” The agreement, tied to Pakistan’s IMF bailout, has reignited debate over taxpayer spending on undocumented immigration.
US Republican leader Vivek Ramaswamy condemned New York City’s USD 220 million lease of the Pakistani government-owned Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house undocumented migrants. He labeled the arrangement “nuts,” highlighting that NYC taxpayers are effectively funding a foreign government. The Roosevelt Hotel, closed since 2020, reopened earlier this year under a three-year lease agreement, providing accommodation for migrants. The deal is expected to generate USD 220 million in revenue for Pakistan, as part of its USD 1.1 billion IMF bailout package. The hotel will revert to Pakistani ownership after the lease expires. The contract, announced by Pakistan’s Minister of Railways and Aviation, Khawaja Saad Rafique, sparked criticism, with Ramaswamy questioning the use of taxpayer funds for the initiative.
