This week on The Geopolity’s What We’re Watching, our analysts break down three major geopolitical developments that could reshape the global landscape.
🇹🇷 Türkiye unveils its first intercontinental ballistic missile — a dramatic signal of Ankara’s growing military ambitions, its expanding defence-industrial base, and the wider implications for the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and NATO.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump and Xi prepare for a high-stakes summit in Beijing — with trade, Taiwan, technology, rare earths, and the Iran war all on the table. Is this the start of a new Cold War détente, or simply a pause before deeper confrontation?
