State Department turf war.
It's fascinating who is saying what in support of Trump and against Trump in USA.

(Someone is smirking - and perhaps not only one person - its a bit childish and not a manner on how to deal with Bharat - but we are mature enough to know what and how to respond and when and if and why)
State Department usually has the president of usa statements vetted and a visit and statements even informally are done with preparations and care.
- It's either state department making him say the above on purpose.
- If not it is Trump that is putting the State Department in such things (he simply doesnt bother and respect State Department)
- It is a new (old) approach of USA that it is the most amazing and greatest and do whatever it wants (like good old times)
- It might also be because Modi stood and has stood up to Trump and its to remind Bharat hold on you got this.
- There is also a video of S. Jaishankar EAM and PM Modi walking and it can be seen where former is using his fingers to indicate not to have talked and said something. People (and governments) notice such signals ... and its sometimes easy to (try) and throw a bee into a haystack.
EAM has spoken in parliament that is good enough. Ignore and move onto bigger things. Sure there is always a measurement to show (dont mess with us type) - but why give others the knowledge and tips on how to deal with Trump.
If Pakis think it is all good and fine - its always worse to fall from mountain top compared to being kicked when lying on the ground. Has Trump said and used more expletive words either with others and with more volume and impact- definitely.
Also Trump mentioned the word "arbitration" and also later "I will speak with PM Modi and if he agrees". It shows a caveat perhaps even lack understanding. perhaps even intent.
Trump will justify what he said - PM Modi and Trump know what was discussed. And there are multiple people part of such meetings and making notes. (Including those that observe such videos and more).
Dont want to say more but it also suggests there is a deep penetration into within the cabinet process that someone is trying to create a wedge between EAM and Modi. Spirit of what is being said to rules of what and how it is being said.
Even Modi openly said to Sushma Swaraj when he went to USA and she asked him not to speak without a speech and written notes.
Sometimes what is said leads to karma and dharma and even transformation. its complex and fascinating. why it happened and how.
Identify the problem and not the symptoms. Its too easy to observe and try and create a wedge. Our institutions and generational directional movement now wont be held to such statements. We move on the path of the righteous and with the righteousness
The faster we realize that we are on our own ... on the righteous and with the righteousness, it will be hard work and difficult journey but no better way. Slowly a few will join but later ...
The others know it already. We will never walk alone.
Jai Hind.
