Exclusive | Richard Quest To India Today: Trump’s Brute Force Is Tearing Old Alliances, Rewiring

At BT Davos 2026, India Today TV Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai spoke exclusively with veteran British journalist and CNN Business Editor-at-Large Richard Quest. Their wide-ranging conversation explored how geopolitics has once again taken center stage at the World Economic Forum, driven largely by the disruptive force of US President Donald Trump. Quest highlighted the growing rupture in the transatlantic alliance, rising global uncertainty, and its impact on business confidence. He discussed India’s evolving trade strategy, the rewiring of global commerce through bilateral deals, and the rise of the Global South. The discussion also examined AI as a “rational but inevitable bubble,” shaping the next phase of global disruption.
