Trump 2.0 and the Indo-Pacific: Navigating stormy waters or charting a new course?
Indo-Pacific could offer an alternative trading framework, but many countries—especially India—will be uneasy about China’s dominant role within it, commented Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times.
He set the tone for CUTS International’s webinar on geopolitics last week. The two-session brought together global experts, policymakers, and thought leaders to assess the implications of President Donald Trump’s second term on the Indo-Pacific region’s geopolitics, trade, and security frameworks.
Ambassador Meera Shankar, former Indian Ambassador to the U.S., emphasised that “Collective security, collective prosperity, and a rules-based order drive the Indo-Pacific region.” However, she noted that while economic cooperation has progressed, collective security remains a work in progress.
Reflecting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the U.S., she highlighted his focus on connectivity and energy security, citing the growing importance of corridors such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC).
“The world needs a ‘World First’ approach- just as America prioritises ‘America First.’ We cannot address global challenges in silos; solutions must be worldwide” remarked Talal Abu-Ghazalah, Jordanian-Palestinian businessman and Chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh organisation urging for a collective effort.
