Modi-Xi-Putin Summit: Trump’s Cold War Plans Are Crumbling with Vijay Prashad

Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute, discusses Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surprise visit to China for the 25th SCO Summit, where he met with leaders from China, Russia, Iran, and Central Asia. Prashad explains how Modi’s trip marks a turning point in global politics, exposing the failure of Washington’s divide-and-conquer strategy. “India is realizing that being the poodle of the United States doesn’t get you anything,” says Prashad. “The message has come loud and clear: the U.S. is not a reliable ally. It prioritizes war, not development.”
