C Raja Mohan writes: When Trump meets Xi, will a new global order emerge?Subscriber Only

October 29,2025 22:18:53 PM

The so-called ‘global peace plan’ is unlikely to contain binding commitments or operational timelines. Rather, it will serve as a political document projecting the shared responsibility of Washington and Beijing for global stability

Trump’s Gaza peace plan: Ambitious declarations that are resting on shaky foundationsSubscriber Only

September 30,2025 15:38:46 PM

Trump’s desire for peace may well be genuine. His initial gains, drawing on the weight of US power and his readiness for high-stakes manoeuvres, create dramatic headlines. But sustaining those gains amid the complexities on the ground is another matter altogether

September 23,2025 07:25:32 AM

The real question is not simply whether the US or China will dominate the UN, but whether middle powers like India can help craft a multilateralism fit for an age of rivalry and rapid change

August 31,2025 18:47:58 PM

In riding roughshod over partners such as Australia, India, Japan and South Korea on trade, and by threatening to weaponise security ties, Trump has forced them both to strengthen bonds with one another and to reduce tensions with China

The Modi government will hope that Washington and Moscow will arrive at a final agreement on how to deal with Ukraine and Trump will discard the 25 per cent additional tariff.
