Steven Walt: Iran is the only chance of Trump to win the Nobel Prize

According to RCO News Agency, Steven Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University, discussed various aspects of US President Donald Trump’s domestic and foreign policies.

In an interview with Qatar al -Jazeera, Walt emphasized that the Trump era was one of the most radical periods in US political history.

“This is the most radical president in American history,” he said. “The Trump administration stems from the belief that the current US domestic structures and international relations are defective and dangerous.”

“Trump is trying to change almost all US domestic institutions in a fundamental way and transform many US international relations,” he said.

According to Walt, the US President sought to weaken or eliminate regulatory and balance agencies, relying on the model of classical dictators. “Trump is seeking to remove all independent resources of power; Congress, the judiciary, the media, universities and the commercial community must all be pressured so that no institution can monitor its executive power. “

“Trump tried these actions in his first government, but many of them were tackled,” he said. “Trump has had four years to investigate his mistakes, and now he feels that by re -election, his actions have been confirmed and basically investigating exactly how much he can go.”

Trump is an infinite bullying

“At first, the people were shocked, but there were three important things happened,” said Harvard’s professor at Harvard’s reaction to Trump’s actions. “The first is that efforts to compromise with Trump were useless, and second, the negative reaction of the financial markets and the US business community that caused serious economic shock.”

Referring to Trump’s attempt to suppress Colombia University and its initial agreement with the Trump administration’s requests, he said: “When some, like Colombia University, tried to satisfy or encourage Trump administration officials, they were not satisfied and returned and made more demands. “It showed all that if you try to satisfy them, it won’t work.”

“A bully is never satisfied,” Walt said. So the next victim knew that he should not implement government requests. “

“The second mistake of the Trump administration was the wave of economic actions they did,” he said. Immediately the stock market, the commercial community and the bond market were frightened by Trump’s actions. In my opinion, this has at least partially alerted the government in some aspects of economic policy. So, you may see that we have actually reached the peak of Trump, where infiltration begins to decrease over time. I think this is what we should hope for. “

Foreign policy; From multilateralism to power -oriented worldview

In another part of the conversation, Steven Walt spoke to Trump’s foreign policy, stressing that these policies were based on a “fundamental revision of US global relations”. In his view, “Trump believes that the world has deceived America and that former presidents have allowed the situation; “Therefore, by exercising power, these relationships should be changed in favor of the United States.”

Criticizing Trump’s approaching people like Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Shi Jinping and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman added: “Trump is very fascinated by authoritarian leaders and wishes to rule like them. “He imagines a world where powerful leaders are trading together without worrying about parliament and laws.”

“Such a world will be full of instability and conflict; “Because countries are forced to change the status quo, and the United States gradually loses the confidence of its long -standing allies.”

“Trump is destroying US relations with the country’s closest friends,” the university professor said. A clever strategist does not choose the war with Canada. “Denmark is probably the biggest US pro -in Europe, however Trump is seeking his wishes to take over Greenland.”

“Finally, since Trump thinks it is unpredictable, it is a virtue,” he added. What he does not realize is that over time, no one wants to deal with someone who cannot be trusted; Because it won’t be sure what the United States will do. This is not in America’s favor. “Finally, it makes it more difficult to manage the world.”

Trump’s passion in the Palestinian issue

In another part of his conversation with Al Jazeera, Harvard Professor said in response to Trump’s similarity to US President Joe Biden’s policy on the Zionist regime and the Gaza war: “Trump’s policy towards Gaza is not much different from Biden. “All five governments were unhappy with Israel’s actions, but none of their pressure leverage were used to change the situation.”

However, Walt described Trump’s positive characteristics as avoiding military conflicts. “Unlike many militant politicians, he said,” Unlike many militant politicians, he was reluctant to start the war. ” “He has even resisted pressure on military action against Iran and has resisted Netanyahu’s request to attack Iran.”

“Trump bombed the Houthis (Ansarullah) for a short time,” the university professor said, referring to the halt to US aggressive attacks on Yemen. When it turned out that this would not work, he abandoned the attack on Yemen and declared victory despite the failure of America. Unlike Biden, Trump is not interested in any foreign country. He is only fascinated by himself. “

He also pointed to the dissatisfaction of the Arab states of Gaza: “Trump listens to the Saudis and the Gulf states and they have asked him to reconsider Israeli actions.”

The university professor described Trump’s possibility of pressure on Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a government solution, saying, “Netanyahu has spent most of his political life opposed to the formation of Palestine, and it is unlikely to come under a shortage of Trump.”

The prospect of a nuclear deal with Iran and the Nobel Peace Prize

“Trump is not interested in details,” Walt added. “He is fascinated by the expression of huge designs, and when these plans fail, he always blames someone else.”

“Trump is responsible for Gaza and Ukraine is a real estate dealer and cannot solve the issues of Gaza and Ukraine,” he said.

“Trump is seeking an agreement with Iran, and this has worried the Israelis,” Walt said, referring to the current talks between Iran and the US. “He is not looking for a war with Iran.”

“Trump is looking for a great diplomatic achievement,” Steven Walt said in his analysis, referring to Trump’s willingness to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He is fascinated by the Nobel Peace Prize. “Trump will not win the Nobel Peace Prize in Ukraine or Gaza, but Iran may be his only chance to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Israel’s lobby; From the past to the present

Responding to a question about the influence of the Zionist regime’s lobby in the United States, a professor at Harvard said: “We have predicted in our book in Year 2 that the Israeli lobby will prevent the government from realizing the solution. “This analysis is still valid today.”

“It would be interesting to see, according to our previous conversation, whether Trump’s disagreement with Netanyahu will affect the Republican Party’s thinking about it over time,” Walt said. The Likud and Netanyahu Party count heavily on Republicans. They were supposed to be Netanyahu’s main supporters and the party. “This may ultimately end up at their own expense.”

“Public opinion in the United States has changed,” he said. Unconditional support for Israel no longer among the Democrats of the past; But this change has not yet affected US official policies. “

Civic disobedience; A way to deal with Trump

“The United States in Europe may reduce its military presence, but it has maintained its presence in the Middle East and has strengthened its presence in Asia to confront China,” Walt said, noting that the United States has not completely retreat from its global leadership.

Referring to the expansion of domestic protests in the United States, he also said about the role of citizens in countering Donald Trump’s actions: “In such circumstances, non -violent civil disobedience is one of the most effective ways. “If Trump’s policies have serious negative consequences for the US, the protest process will be strengthened.”

“I am worried that this government will seek opportunities to suppress, and if the protests are violent, there may be an excuse to suppress,” he said.

Referring to Trump’s use of emergency powers, he said, “Trump has used emergency powers five times in his first round and has resorted to the tool eight times in the first three months.” “Trump is trying to replace his loyalty to the constitution,” Walt emphasized.

“Restoration of US credibility after the second Trump will be much more difficult than the first period,” Walt said, referring to Trump’s policies for the US world position. To rebuild US credit, the future government must accept past mistakes and respond to violations; “Without this accountability, it would not be possible to revive world trust.”
