 Surreal Conversation Donald Trump and Nawaz Sharif :The question that is doing the rounds all over the globe is, Did Donald Trump the new President Elect to the United States of America actually Say those words to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif?

This part is confirmed that Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and US President- elect Donald Trump had a telephonic conversation on 30th of November. What transpired between the two remains a mystery? One says he said so and brazenly the supposed conversation between the two was out at a press release while the other is yet to confirm.

After the conversation, the Pakistan Prime Minister’s Office put out a statement directly quoting Trump  a grave violation of diplomatic protocol – in which he thoroughly praised Sharif.

The statement quoted the US President-elect Trump as telling Sharif, “As I am talking to you, Prime Minister, I feel I am talking to a person I have known for long,” Trump reportedly said. “Your country is amazing, with tremendous opportunities. Pakistanis are one of the most intelligent people.”

It goes on to say, “You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way. I am looking forward to see you soon.”

The President-elect’s office put out a statement saying the two sides “had a productive conversation about how the United States and Pakistan will have a strong working relationship in the future.”

The Trump team has not answered inquiries whether the President-elect actually said what the Pakistanis claimed he had.

Surreal Conversation Donald Trump and Nawaz Sharif : President Protocol

Readouts of phone calls between world leaders are usually short in nature  in order to protect leaders from incidental backlash .

They’re dry and diplomatic statements reflecting conversations using carefully chosen buzzwords.

And political insiders say the calls themselves are usually quite formal.

“A president wouldn’t gush over a foreign leader the way that Donald Trump did. He wouldn’t volunteer to do all these things,” says CNN political analyst David Gergen, who has served as an adviser to four presidents.

“Our relationship with Pakistan is one of the most sensitive and difficult relationships in the world. It’s an extremely important relationship.”

When making that call, a president would likely have a press aide and national security advisers at his side, according to Gergen.

“You’d carefully think through any call like that, you’d make your two or three points, [then] over and out,” he said. “Especially don’t leave them in a position where they could put out something so gushing that it hurts your relationship with India.”

Surreal Conversation Donald Trump and Nawaz Sharif: Critic / Friend ?

In the past, the President-elect has been quite a vocal critic of Pakistan.

“Get it straight: Pakistan is not our friend,” he tweeted in 2011.

“When will Pakistan apologize to us for providing safe sanctuary to Osama Bin Laden for 6 years?! Some ‘ally,'” he tweeted in 2012.

Surreal Conversation Donald Trump and Nawaz Sharif: Trump and India

Trump in October  said if he was elected, the United States and India — Pakistan’s longtime adversary — would be “best friends.”

Speaking to reporters, a spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs said “we have only seen the one-sided version of that conversation.”

Referring to Trump’s apparent willingness to tackle “outstanding issues,” he said that India believes the most pressing issue is “Pakistan’s continued support of cross-border terrorism.”

Last month, in an interview with a leading Indian News Paper , Trump said that he would “love to be the mediator or arbitrator” in the dispute between India and Pakistan “if they wanted me to,” also saying, “We will have to be very, very strong with respect to radical Islamic terrorism.”

“Well, I would love to see Pakistan and India get along, because that’s a very, very hot tinderbox,” he added. “That would be a very great thing. I hope they can do it.”

Pakistan has often called on outside parties, such as the United States or the United Nations, to mediate its dispute with India over control of Kashmir — and India has just has often rejected the idea.

In 2013, India’s foreign minister said there was “no way” Indian would agree to U.S. mediation. As for India’s hold on Kashmir, he said, ”It is a waste of time for anybody no matter how eminent to be even trying to question it.”

“To that extent we would welcome a dialogue between the US and Pakistan to resolve that issue,” he added.

While the comments could have caused friction with Pakistan, they — and the quotes the Pakistanis attribute to Trump — fall in line with the President-elect’s campaign pledge to employ the relationship-building skills he used in his business career in the diplomatic sphere.

It also could be another case of growing pains for a political newbie, if the quotes are accurate.

The State Department said it was contacted after the Trump team had already spoken with several world leaders.

“Quite frankly, nobody knows what the protocol is with Donald Trump,” CNN Politics Executive Editor Mark Preston said.
