It should be a matter of pride that US President Donald Trump conferred US’s top military honour ” Legion of Merit”, on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his ” steadfast leadership and vision for India’s emergence as a global power and exemplary contribution by him for the advancement of the India-US strategic partnership.<\/p>\n
Modi is among the other two leaders of the four-nation Quad group to receive this honour. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also received this honour.<\/p>\n
The Legion of Merit Degree Chief Commander is a ” domed five-pointed American white star plaque of heraldic form border in purplish red named 215\/16 inches circumscribing diameter with 13 white stars on a blue field emerging from a circle of clouds.backing the star a laurel wreath with pierced, crossed arrows pointing outward between each arm of the start and the wreath”. The reverse is engraved with words United States of America.<\/p>\n
When Trump is out and Biden in as US President, has Trump not caused an embarrassment to the leaders of these Quad nations vis – a vis Joe Biden who is now the US President waiting to be inaugurated on January 20, 2021. Quad alliance will continue for all practical purposes because its a well thought out foreign policy initiative of the US government and not an independent action of Trump.<\/p>\n
Finally, India would have been happier if US President Donald Trump, handling a transitional government, had announced the award before the US Presidential elections and not called India and China as filthy cities. So also the Quad nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
