In this edition of Geopolitics with Swasti, ThePrint Consulting Editor Swasti Rao breaks down the US–Bangladesh tariff reset to 19% with a 0 tariff clause. As India enters a more competitive textile era, she also examines Turkey’s centralised defence procurement model and whether a unified defence agency is realistic. She answers questions on Donald Trump’s Cuba strategy, US monitoring of India’s Russian oil imports, India’s renewed Venezuelan crude purchases and why the Russia–Ukraine war is unlikely to end soon. Questions on the Armenia–Azerbaijan normalisation process and IMEC’s uncertainty amid the Gaza war and Gulf tensions also answered.
