In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, Dr Ian Bremmer, President of Eurasia Group, discussed the global fallout of the US raid in Caracas and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and much more.
Speaking to India Today, Bremmer said, "'It is very clear that the United States is changing the rules of the road internationally. It is embracing the law of the jungle, where the United States is militarily the apex predator, perhaps less so economically, we can talk about that. And clearly, the operation in Venezuela is not the only incident that we are going to see."
He characterised the US as the "militarily the apex predator" under the "Donro doctrine," warning that while the Venezuela operation is a tactical win for Donald Trump, it undermined long-term American legitimacy.
Regarding India, Bremmer noted the country is in a "strategically quite strong position" compared to other nations, citing its consistent leadership and role as a leader of the Global South. He argued that while the US remains powerful, its internal unpredictability and "regime roulette" approach to foreign policy are forcing allies into urgent hedging strategies.

In her 124-minute speech -- after which the Sensex plunged over 1,600 points before staging a partial recovery -- Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a higher capital expenditure outlay of Rs 12.2 lakh crore for FY27 and set a fiscal deficit target of 4.3 per cent of GDP.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India’s 140 crore citizens are no longer content with being the world’s fastest-growing economy and want the country to become the world’s third-largest economy “as soon as possible.” He said the Union Budget gives equal importance to multiple sectors and lays the groundwork for achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Highlighting Nari Shakti, Modi praised Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, calling the Budget historic for underscoring India’s commitment to women’s empowerment. “As a woman Finance Minister, Nirmala ji has set a new record by presenting the Union Budget for the ninth consecutive time,” the Prime Minister said, lauding her leadership and consistency.
