Where to start from, the current helpless US or 2016 US policy? There is no big or emerging country of the world left which the US President Donald Trump has allowed to live or growth with ease. Starting with Saudi Arabia in Middle East, where the whole world is fighting, it is oil. “If we withdraw the army, the Saudi Empire will collapse under 2 weeks”, after saying so, the first foreign visit as President also took place in Saudi Arabia and signed historical deal of about $350 billion, including $110 billion was just an arms deal. He did not even do much on the Qatar crisis in the Gulf region, because wanted to fulfill growing oil demands with his shale oil, and later also sold weapons to Qatar. Then began to kneel down to Venezuela, Iran and North Korea. The economy of three is decaying. First, an elected president was not recognized. Secondly, for the first time in history, a sovereign national army was declared a terrorist; Third, called a president Rocketman, Cynical and threatened to destroy the country with a nuclear remote placed on the table, but to date America or, say, President Trump, could not bow to anyone. Kim Jong Un‘s threaten to destroy the island of Guam with a nuclear ballistic missile may have made Trump most uncomfortable.
Speaking of allied countries, firstly NATO, the most powerful military group of 29 countries, is in its weakest phase in history and since President Trump has asked all the Heads of State to spend 2% of their GDP on its defense. They are surrounded by their own thrown dice. While many NATO countries depend on Russia’s gas supply, even Germany. Now Gulf closest allies, such as Japan and South Korea, have become uncomfortable with Trump statement of demands on more funding to deployment US troops and Nuclear Umbrella in both countries. And South Korea has accepted Trump’s demands, considering North Korea a threat. He has now promised to pay $950 million every year instead of $850 million. But due to another problem, Trump’s policy is in a bad phase due to the Korean genocide by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II, and wealthy countries such as Japan-South Korea have gone too far from their diplomatic ties due to their old dispute. Therefore, President Moon-Jae-In has announced the withdrawal of the US-Korea-Japan trilateral GSOMIA agreement, due to the escalation from North Korea, blackmailing and escalating controversy by Japan.
If we talking about a major strategic partner like India, we have already signed 3 of these 4 founding agreements of US i.e. GSOMIA (General Security of Military Security Agreement), LEMOA (Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement) and The COMCASA (Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement), and the final BECA (Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement) agreement are expected to be signed by next month. But Trump did not even leave Narendra Modi‘s Made in India ahead of his America First policy. Starting with the Harley Davidson issue, Trump made little success in the dice he threw, and also pressurized the entry for sale of non-vegetarian dairy products in the Indian market. At the same time, one of his successful diplomacy was a plan to completely ban India’s purchase of oil from Iran to prevent China’s technical restriction on Masood Azhar in the UN Security Council. But ahead of India’s policy of 70 years, Trump’s 03 years of diplomacy became a lie.
Of course America is necessary for India but not only America is necessary, India has proved it. Whether it is to buy the S-400 Triumph anti-ballistic missile weapon from Russia, regardless of the CAATSA law (Countering America’s Advisory Through Sensations Act), keeping the Chabahar project out of it even after a complete ban on Iran. To prove its ability in the Indo-Pacific or to test the A-set on space under Mission Shakti or to change the geographical system of Jammu and Kashmir, the US could not resist anywhere. It has made two facts very clear that today’s new India will not bend with the other and Trump’s policy failed on many fronts. Although at present, Trump has been talking about mediation on Kashmir issue many times, but the reason for this is only because of his impatience because he does not want any hindrance on the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, so he is making Pakistan happy by saying all this. Even more, with Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela and now the trade war with China, President Trump is not getting any concrete achievement from anywhere that he can use in his 2020 election campaign. Due to these policies many of his companions left him and hence I said that he is a “failed warrior”.
Trump has not even cared about global institutions and groups in his desperation. Due to their policies, they abolished NAFTA by blackmailing their border allies Canada and Mexico and created the USMCA, raising high tariffs on steel and aluminium to Make America – Great again. Trump returned from half the meeting, angering Canada and Germany at the G7 group summit. As a result, a developed country like Italy, which is a member of NATO and the G7 group, joined China’s Belt and Road Initiative project even after Trump’s opposition. Now President Trump’s focus is on China and he has waged a trade war with it, he has so far imposed tariffs on products worth $250 billion and announced a 10% tariff on products worth $300 billion from September 01st, 2019. Not only this, the United States also reduced its supremacy and leadership by exiting institutions and groups such as the UN Migrant Refugee Pact, Trans Traffic Partnership, Paris Agreement, UNESCO, Iran Nuclear Agreement, UNHRC, INF Treaty, UN Arms Treaty is. The reason is just one so that President Trump can bring everyone to the negotiating table. Whether it is Hassan Rouhani or Kim Jong Un for nuclear disarmament, Xi Jinping for trade deal or Pakistan for safe withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. The goal is to win the 2020 election only, because they do not like to lose, even if they have to seek the support of Russia.
