Fareed Zakaria At Davos Brainstorm 2026: India Must Build Leverage Before Challenging Donald Trump

In this exclusive interaction from Davos, renowned foreign policy expert Fareed Zakaria analyses the 'Trumpian world order' and its implications for India. Speaking to Rajdeep Sardesai, Zakaria warns that India should not attempt to 'stare down' Donald Trump without sufficient economic leverage, noting that 'Don't threaten when you don't have the leverage... don't bluff.' He discusses the shifting dynamics of the MAGA coalition's attitude toward Indian-Americans and the potential risks of Trump's transactional approach to diplomacy, including his interactions with Pakistan's leadership. Zakaria describes the current era as the 'most dramatic moment' in international relations, marking a significant rupture of the post-World War II stable system. The conversation also touches upon the volatility of global markets, the impact of potential US midterm elections, and the controversial 'Board of Peace' for Gaza. Zakaria concludes by highlighting the long-term economic risks of isolationist policies and high tariffs, drawing parallels to India's own economic history.
