Great conversation with CEO’s and executives from 50+ companies, including Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon, Master Card, General Catalyst, Lockheed Martin and Boeing. We focused on U.S. leadership in AI, emerging technologies, and innovation. The Global AI summit in New Delhi is underway in full force. Thanks to @USISPForum for hosting.

Our special series with @CNBCTV18PrimeIN @Parikshitl @ShereenBhan continues! @csis_ai Director Aalok Mehta and @USISPForum Senior Adviser @VJS_Policy joined to discuss, “How Will India-USA Trade Deal Boost Collaboration On AI?” Watch now 👇🏼 youtu.be/z8gBLlVspvw?si…

Serious escalation on NATO's eastern flank. Three russian MiG-31 fighters (heavy interceptors capable of being equipped with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles) violated Estonian airspace and approached the capital, Tallinn, to within approximately 5 nautical miles (approximately 9 km). The aircraft circled there for approximately 12 minutes without a flight plan, transponder, or radio contact. This was not a mere "overflight," but a provocative approach to a NATO member, which can be interpreted as a test of the Alliance's responsiveness. NATO responded promptly: Italian F-35A stealth fighters were placed on alert from the Ämari base in Estonia and deployed to counter the attack. However, there was no exchange of fire—the russian jets withdrew as soon as the F-35s were within range.

Footage from today captures a Chinese Navy vessel striking a Chinese Coast Guard vessel while chasing the Philippine Coast Guard near Scarborough Shoal, within the Philippines’ EEZ - a vivid example of how perilous & reckless Beijing has become in the South China Sea

In my latest article for @IndiasWorld_mag, I outline "Nine Elements of India’s Emerging Strategy Against Terrorism" which I term "Deterrence by Exhaustion". 1. Assured conventional retaliation against sub-conventional attacks. This strategy involves publicly declaring a conventional military response to Pakistan, unlike 2016, when actions were unannounced and only acknowledged afterwards, and then following through on these commitments. Through the new approach, which entails openly communicating its intentions to Pakistan and the international community, India aims to establish a well-publicised tripwire strategy, which may deter Pakistan from crossing certain red lines. India not only wants to take punitive action but also wants to be seen as doing so openly and visibly. Setting public redlines for the adversary to enhance deterrence is the objective here.

India has launched #OperationSindoor striking multiple targets within Pakistan, hitting "terror linked infrastructure" - Pakistan is retaliating, has shut down its airspace - Intense crossfire is being reported at the Line of Control, targets sourced from Indian media below

Thoroughly enjoyed my @HudsonInstitute conversation w/ Dr #AshleyTellis on #US #India relations under second #Trump administration @ashajadeja325 @CarnegieSAsia / youtube.com/live/Anu_Op5FL…

Unannounced Chinese naval drills in the Tasman Sea, roughly 400 nautical miles off Sydney's coast, have reportedly disrupted air traffic in the region - this visual plots the incident area, along with known flight routes & air traffic in the region during the exercise today

@USATODAY The Blackhawk flies right into the CRJ - and just after the tower asked if they had visual contact. Either the pilot was confused - below and closing on the descending plane w/o realizing… or it was deliberate. Praying that 1st responders save some From the icy water. Tragic

A regional jet operated by American Airlines crashed into a helicopter as the plane was trying to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport.

On day one as Secretary of State, I hosted the Foreign Ministers of Australia, India, and Japan for an important meeting of the Quad. We are committed to strengthening economic opportunity and peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region. state.gov/joint-statemen…

@SenatorSlotkin @WStachelberg Wow!!

Sometimes, amazing coincidences happen that are hard to fathom. On my way to the Senate to get sworn in, a Capitol police officer jumped on the train to catch a ride — wearing the name tag Slotkin. Officer Slotkin and I quickly discovered our great-grandfathers were brothers.

@Iyervval Abhi, when you go to Burning Man let’s make sure it dominates the headlines! 🤩

Why does every gora attending #MahaKumbh2025 become “news”? Do you see American news outlets interviewing Indians attending Coachella? Or Italian TV interviewing Indians who attend Christmas Mass at the Vatican?

@Rory_Medcalf What a life and legacy he leaves! Sending our love and condolences as you celebrate his life.

A wonderful life, and thank you for so much, dear Dad. You almost made 96 not out. Always a positive and gentle soul, full of good humour and poetry. Max Medcalf, 1929-2025

#WATCH | Delhi: US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says, "This is likely the last trip overseas that I will lead as NSA and I cannot think of a better way to end my tenure in the White House, visiting India on my final overseas trip to mark the advances that we have made together over the past four years. This is a shared and historic achievement...I have every reason to believe that within the next decade, we will see American and Indian firms working together to build the next generation of semiconductor technologies, American and Indian astronauts conducting cutting-edge research and space exploration together..."
