News India Live, Digital Desk: American foreign policy is always known for its tough and clear decisions, especially when it comes to the Middle East. Former President Donald Trump has again created a stir in the region by making a big and controversial statement. His target is directly on former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. What is Trump’s direct threat? Trump has clearly warned that if there is a political change in Iraq and once again Nouri al-Maliki comes to power, America will immediately stop giving its support to Iraq (US Support to Iraq). For America, this support is not just diplomatic, but also in the form of financial help, military cooperation and intelligence support. Is. In such a situation, stopping American support would mean that Iraq may have to face a difficult situation alone. What problem does Trump have with Maliki? To understand why Trump’s attitude towards Maliki is so strict, we have to understand the old history. Nouri al-Maliki has been the Prime Minister of Iraq twice (from 2006 to 2014). Trump has always been critical of his tenure, and the main reason for this is relations with Iran (Iran-Iraq Relations). The Trump administration has always taken a tough stance on Iran, while Maliki has often been accused of being more inclined towards the Shia community and its patron, i.e. Iran. Trump feels that with Maliki’s return to power, Iraq will completely come under Iranian influence, which can pose a major threat to America and its allies in the Middle East. After Maliki’s return, Iraq’s political independence and stability may be affected. Which is a threat to regional security. What effect will this have on the politics of the Middle East? If Trump fulfills his promise (if he becomes President again), then: Iraq will be weak: Iraq is currently fighting economic instability and extremists continuously. Withdrawal of American support can worsen Iraq’s military capability and economic condition. Benefit to Iran: If Iraq becomes weak, Iran’s dominance will increase in the Middle East (Middle East Geopolitics), which Trump will not. Want. Tension in international relations: This tough stance of Trump shows that his US foreign policy will be based on ‘America First’ and conditions. Maliki is not directly in the race for power at the moment, but due to his presence in politics and strong support, Trump has already issued this warning. This warning clearly indicates at what point US-Iraq relations will stand under the Trump administration.
