Earlier this week, the world saw some dramatic shifts in global geopolitics reflect themselves at the United Nations General Assembly. While it was known that Donald Trump’s presidency in the United States could work to realign existing dynamics, the extent of this was brought out during votes on two resolutions regarding Ukraine. The Wire’s Jahnavi Sen is joined by Devirupa Mitra, diplomatic editor at The Wire, and Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty, national affairs editor at The Wire, to talk about shifting allegiances and what to expect from Trump’s presidency. They also discuss the current moment in India-US relations and the case in the Supreme Court in which the ‘Manipur Tapes’, allegedly featuring former state chief minister N. Biren Singh, are playing a key role.
