Indian Thought Latest News & Views
Washington DC: As soon as he took oath as the 47th President of America, Donald Trump (Trump’s) has given the biggest tension to China and Pakistan. This has created a stir in both the countries. Before taking oath, Trump had indicated to improve relations with China. But after taking oath, he has surprised China with his announcement. Pakistan has also been shocked. But on this occasion, India has hit a six. Now let us tell you what the whole matter is, due to which there is a stir in Pakistan and China.
Actually, the second biggest announcement made by Donald Trump after taking oath and imposing emergency on the Mexican border is related to China. Trump said that he will take the Panama Canal under his complete control. Let us tell you that the incomplete construction of this canal was completed by America in 1914. Till 1978 it was under the control of America. From 1979 America and Panama started controlling it jointly. But later in 1999 America handed over its control to Panama.
China spoiled America’s game by befriending Panama
After this canal was handed over to Panama, China deepened its friendship with Panama. China built two big ports on the Panama Canal. Gradually, the control of Panama Canal went into the hands of China. Let us tell you that many countries of the world use the waterway of Panama Canal for trade. America has also been using it. If America did not have this canal, then it would have to take a detour of more than 20 kilometers to go from eastern to western America. It wastes 1 week of time and fuel. Whereas using this route takes 10 to 12 hours. That is why this canal is necessary for America. On the other hand, Xi Jinping has become tense after seeing America’s eye on Panama.
Why Pakistan got a shock
The biggest shock that Pakistan has received from Trump’s arrival is due to Trump’s strict stand against terrorism. Trump has announced that he will completely eliminate foreign terrorism. Earlier, during his first term, Trump had put Pakistan in the list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for promoting terrorism. Due to this, Pakistan stopped getting terror funding. This ban remained in force on Pakistan for about 4 years. This led to the bankruptcy of Pakistan’s economy. Pakistan has again become nervous due to the strict declaration in Trump’s speech against terrorism.
What did India say on Trump’s swearing-in
On one hand, there is an atmosphere of mourning in China and Pakistan after Trump’s swearing-in, while India has become very strong strategically. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has indicated further strengthening of India-US relations by congratulating Donald Trump in a special way. In a post on ‘X’, PM Modi said, “Congratulations to my dear friend President Donald Trump on being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America! I look forward to working together once again to benefit both our countries and shape a better future for the world. Best wishes for a successful tenure ahead!” Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday. Along with him, J.D. Vance was sworn in as the Vice President of the United States.
