Trump India Pakistan: So this will be the biggest mistake of Donald Trump … ‘distance from India and America will submerge America’

Washington. America is often criticized that it adopts a short -term approach and changes direction very quickly. But in fact, Washington has shown remarkable stability in its foreign policy on important issues. For example, take strategic contact with India, which began during the Clinton Administration and continued to move forward in the last 25 years. President Donald Trump’s sudden and unprovoked attitude towards India reverses the policies adopted by five administration (including his previous administration). If this new attitude continues, it can prove to be the biggest strategic mistake ever of his President’s tenure.

Farid Zakaria wrote in the ‘Washington Post’ that the sudden change in the attitude of Donald Trump for India will not achieve anything except damage to America. He said in his article, “After the Cold War, the US adopted a policy of increasing the continuous contact with India. In the year 2000, President Bill Clinton’s visit to India opened the possibility of a warm new relationship. Although decisive changes came in the tenure of President George W. Bush. His administration recognized that the emerging China is changing the international system and the most important balance for China can be the most important balance for China… Then the second most populous country of China can be changing the world. In the direction of improvement and global integration, close relationships between Washington and New Delhi were the key to prevent Chinese dominance in Asia and protect American interests in the region. ”

Farid Zakaria further said, “There was a big barrier in such a partnership – India’s nuclear weapon program. In the interest of non -proliferation, America had banned India (and Pakistan) to conduct nuclear tests. But Bush administration decided that the Bush administration decided that India should be treated like France, Britain or China, and introduced a historical nuclear deal that ended the separation of India. Purchased efficiently, which proved to be a milestone in the relationship between the two countries. ”

The article said, “After this, Washington and New Delhi came closer to many areas. The Obama administration, under the ‘Pivot’ policy of America in Asia, supported the effort to make India a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and enhanced the trade between the two economies. First the Trump administration gave a new strengthening of the ‘Quad’ (America, Australia, Japan and India a defense-uproar). He was also proud of his personal relationships. “

In the article, Zakaria said, “The President Joe Biden then worked further on this legacy of Trump, increased further cooperation in defense and economic fields. India planned to make everything in making everything from fighter jets to computer chips. In the second quarter of this year, India exported more smartphones from China in the US market. After independence, the Soviet Union gave it full support, while America gave funds and weapons to its opponents Pakistan. ”

As a large, diverse and complex democracy, India has always been domestic interests that its leaders cannot ignore. Despite this, Washington was successful in bringing India closer to itself, so that the interests and actions of the two countries would match more. But now with the arrival of Trump 2.0, the decades of American diplomats have reversed in one stroke. He has put India in the highest category of American tariffs – which is now 50% – and it includes countries like Syria and Myanmar.

At the same time, Pakistan (who is now close to China) has been imposed only 19% fee and efforts have been announced to find oil with it, which will probably be meaningless. He had a private meeting with the Pakistan Army chief, and a company associated with the Trump family had relations with the Pakistan Crypto Council – which has increased the possibility of secret deals.

Trump called India’s economy ‘dead’, while India has been the fastest growing economy in the world for the last several years and now it is the fourth largest economy. (By 2028, it is likely to leave Germany behind and come third after the US and China.) It is the second largest weapon importer in the world and the number of smartphone users here is also the second largest.

India adopted a policy of living for a long time. Under Modi, he adopted a transformation ‘multi-alignment’, which theoretically allows to maintain good relations with all sides. But the constant American diplomacy and China’s growing influence gradually weakened this attitude, and India gradually came closer to America. Now all this has stopped.

Even if Trump later changes his stand, it has been damaged. Indians believe that America has shown its real face – its unreliableness and the tendency to behave badly with their friends. They will naturally feel that they should stay close to Russia – and even improve relations with China. There is a wave of shock and anger across the country over Trump’s derogatory behavior.
