News India Live, Digital Desk: The world of international politics is very strange, it is not within everyone’s power to understand who is a friend here and who is just standing together for business. But when an explosive leader like Donald Trump says something about Prime Minister Modi, then the matter is bound to be interesting. Recently, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, famous for his vocabulary, has also broken his silence on the statement made by Trump regarding Modi.
What is the matter?
In fact, Donald Trump is often seen praising PM Modi from public forums. Sometimes he calls him a ‘great leader’ and sometimes his ‘firm friend’. But along with this, Trump also does not forget to mention India’s strictness on tariffs and trade. Shashi Tharoor has made a very balanced but accurate comment on this contradiction.
What did Tharoor explain with his ‘vocabulary’?
Shashi Tharoor says that when leaders like Trump praise Modi, it should not be limited to words only. Tharoor hinted that ‘personal friendship’ may be a part of international relations, but when it comes to national interests, everyone looks out for their own benefit. Tharoor took a dig at Trump’s way of praising him and tried to explain that diplomacy is not determined only by hugs on stage, but by the terms of trade and ground reality.

The real issue of the article is this – will this growing closeness between Trump and Modi really bring any relief in ‘Tariffs’ for India? Tharoor’s analysis shows that America will never compromise on its economic interests, no matter how good a friend it is. This comment of Tharoor in the context of India is a mirror for those who look at foreign policy only from the perspective of friendship.
