External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed the Carnegie Global Tech Summit 2025, highlighting a major transformation in the US's approach to international relations over the past year. He linked this change to the technology sector's pivotal role in fulfilling President Donald Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) agenda.

Jaishankar pointed out that the United States significantly influences global technological advancements and emphasized how recent shifts in the US extend beyond merely economic concerns, impacting industries worldwide. He noted that understanding the synergy between technology and the MAGA movement is crucial.

He also remarked on China's parallel technological progression and described the current geopolitical climate as strained, with Europe no longer maintaining its advantageous triangulation with the US, Russia, and China. The minister humorously touched upon technology and tariffs as focal points of the summit, reflecting on global changes over the past year. He endorsed 'Sambhavna' (possibilities) as an apt theme for the discussions.
