Us India Ties: Politics was heavy on relationships? John Bolton said

News India Live, Digital Desk: Us India Ties: How much does the personal relations of leaders mean in international politics? Does the good friendship of two leaders keep everything right even among their countries? According to former US National Security Advisor (NSA) John Bolton, it is not so. She has given a big statement that the deep friendship between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at one time is no longer the same.

Bolton has warned leaders around the world in a way that good personal relationship with an American leader is not a guarantee that your country will be saved from their policies. His statement has come at a time when there is some tension between India and America about business, especially tariffs.

Foreign policy does not run due to personal relations

John Bolton, who is known for his impeccable opinion, made it clear that Trump often looks at international relations with the glasses of personal friendship. If they are good with a leader, then they feel that America’s relationship with that country is also good. According to Bolton, it does not actually happen. Giving examples, he said that the mutual warmth of the leaders is its place, but when it comes to the interests of the country, the policies change.

There was a time when there was a lot of discussion about Trump and Modi’s friendship in programs like “Howdi Modi”, but Bolton says that it is no longer the matter. The tariffs and some criticisms imposed on India by the American administration have created sourness in these relations.

A lesson for India

Bolton’s words are a kind of lesson for India. He says that Trump’s policies have pushed India-US relations back several decades and forced India to get close to Russia and China. This shows that foreign policy is more complicated than personal relationships. No country should only sit on the friendship of the leaders, but should be prepared for every situation keeping in mind their interests.

Good relations between leaders can be a good start, but they cannot be the basis of any country’s foreign policy. At the end of the day, countries have their own interests.
