  • Summary

  • US and Russian negotiators met in Saudi Arabia this week and, in a stunning reset, agreed to re-establish normal relations and work together to end the Ukraine war. Meanwhile, from Mar-a-Lago President Trump blamed Ukraine for the war and called President Volodymyr Zelensky “a dictator.” What does this shift mean for Ukraine, NATO, and US security commitments? Then, we examine Arab states’ alternate plans for Gaza—what do they propose, are any of them viable, and what will the impact be on the region’s dynamics? Finally, we turn to Beijing, where China’s President Xi Jinping met with top entrepreneurs at a big tech summit. Will Xi be able to boost investor confidence and promote high-tech industries while ensuring businesses align with government priorities? Bobby Ghosh, Prashant Rao, and Liz Sly join guest host Carla Anne Robbins on this week’s World Review to analyze shifting alliances and intensifying global power struggles.
