Is the US a threat to India?￰ Afshin Rattansi challenges John Bolton

On this episode of New Order we speak to Ambassador John Bolton, former National Security Advisor to Donald Trump. He discusses the failure to reach a US-India trade deal after the tariff announcements, whether India will move closer to China following cooler relations with Washington, whether the US poses a threat to India after the bombing of the Chabahar Port and killing of Indian sailors by the US Navy, whether there is a possibility of the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iran, Iran’s nuclear program, why he still believes BRICS is insignificant, allegations of US interference in Brazil’s elections to depose Lula Da Silva, the US’ destabilisation activities in India, and much more. 

Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you the viewers to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode!

Is the US a threat to India?￰ Afshin Rattansi challenges John Bolton
New Order with Afshin Rattansi will trace how India and its allies sit at the center of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. New Order is about diplomatic architecture: The networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition.
