In this episode of Global News Today on Al Arabiya English, Michael Prendergast brings you the latest headlines and deep geopolitical insight from around the world with two fascinating and insightful interviews.

We take a sharp look at US foreign policy through the lens of American political commentator and strategist Angie Wong, diving into the shifting dynamics in Washington – especially in light of President Donald Trump’s evolving stance on Ukraine and his potential influence on future US engagement.

This episode follows a major strike on a government building in Kyiv, marking one of the most significant escalations in recent months. What does this mean for Ukraine’s war effort, and how might it reshape global alliances? What should President Trump do next? Could tougher sanctions be an option for Russia?

We also turn our focus to India, exploring its growing geopolitical clout and its careful balancing act between the West, Russia, and regional power dynamics with Angie Wong giving her expert assessment of relations between President Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India.

Plus, we speak exclusively to the former head of the British Army, offering a military insider’s perspective on what’s next for Ukraine, NATO’s long-term posture, and the risks ahead. We ask Lord Dannatt whether he believes peace is any closer or getting further away.
