Donald Trump angry over Nobel Prize, gave open challenge to the world by changing the name of Hormuz
News India Live, Digital Desk: American President Donald Trump, famous for his outspokenness and strange decisions, has once again attracted the attention of the whole world. This time his target is the world’s most prestigious ‘Nobel Peace Prize’. Trump has given a controversial statement saying that if he does not get the Nobel Peace Prize, then no one else should get this honor. Not only this, while demonstrating his power, he has also announced to change the name of the strategically important ‘Strait of Hormuz’. Trump lashed out at the Nobel Committee: ‘There is no peacemaker like me’. Trump believes that he has stopped wars in many parts of the world and made historic agreements, yet the Nobel Committee is ignoring him. In his address, he said sarcastically, “For the work I have done, I should have received the Nobel several times. If they cannot give me this honour, then this award has no credibility.” This statement of Trump has started a new debate at the international level whether awards like Nobel are now becoming victims of politics? ‘Hormuz’ is now old, now the name ‘Trump’ will work! Not only the awards, Trump has also decided to change the geography. He has officially indicated that the world’s busiest oil trade route ‘Strait of Hormuz’ should be renamed ‘Strait of Trump’. Trump argues that the US Navy has the biggest role in the security of this sea route, hence its name should also be accordingly. His claim has created a stir among Gulf countries like Iran and Oman, because this route is considered the lifeline of global oil supply. Is this just an election stunt or the arrogance of a superpower? Political analysts believe that these statements of Trump are a part of his ‘America First’ policy, where he wants to show that America should have dominance over every major thing in the world. However, experts also say that changing the name of an international waterway is not so easy and the approval of the United Nations (UN) is mandatory for this. But this attitude of Trump has made it clear that he can go to any extent for his credibility and identity. Now it remains to be seen how seriously the world takes his ‘naming’ decision.
