News India Live, Digital Desk: Regarding international politics, we often think that whatever happens between two countries depends on agreements and files. But can you imagine that the relationship between the two biggest leaders of the world can get spoiled even because of an award? The latest claim of famous political scientist Francis Fukuyama is such that anyone will be surprised to hear it.
Fukuyama says that the reason behind the bitterness in the chemistry between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not any major economic issue, but the desire for the ‘Nobel Peace Prize’.
What is the matter?
In fact, Trump felt that he should get the Nobel Prize for the great things he did to maintain peace in the world (like the Abraham Accords or negotiations with North Korea). According to Fukuyama, Trump wanted Indian Prime Minister Modi to support his name or strengthen his claim. But when Modi did not get the level of support that Trump was expecting, the talk turned to ‘ego’.
Was it just anger or something else?
The interesting thing is that we all had seen big events like ‘Namaste Trump’ and ‘Howdy Modi’ on TV. From outside it seemed that a new chapter in the friendship between the two countries was being written. But Fukuyama says all was not well behind the scenes. We all know Trump’s nature; They love ‘validation’ and praise. In such a situation, when PM Modi maintained silence on the Nobel issue, there was a pang in Trump’s mind, the effect of which was later seen on the diplomatic relations between India and America.
Human emotions and global politics
This story also teaches us that the people who take big decisions in the world are also human beings after all. They too have their own dreams, their own respect and their own insecurities. If Fukuyama has any truth in it, then it is strange that the fate of two countries can depend on a small personal attachment or hope.
However, some experts also believe that this could be just a speculation. Because India-US relations are much bigger than any one person’s desire. From trade to defence, our strategic needs bind us together.
India’s stance always remained firm
PM Modi has always kept India’s interests above. India did not take the decision under ‘pressure’ with any country on the platform of diplomacy, but maintained its dignity. Perhaps this is what Trump misses.
However, this claim of Francis Fukuyama has once again become a topic of discussion at the tea table. What do you think? Had the Nobel Prize really become so big that it ruined relationships?
