Auf Indiens wichtigstem Energiegipfel gibt es Anzeichen für eine neue Weltordnung ohne Trump

(Submission Statement)

—

The article covers developments at a the India Energy Week 2026, India’s flagship energy summit. India is the world’s second largest energy importer after China, so this summit represented hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars worth of long-term opportunities and was attended by over 75,000 attendees, including oil ministers, diplomats and energy executives from scores of countries.

However, the United States of America did not play a significant role at this summit, despite being the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world and despite its ongoing efforts to force India to buy more energy from itself. No American official took to the stage, and instead the spotlight was given to countries like Canada, UAE, Norway, Denmark, Paraguay and Finland. Delegates from these countries discussed India’s enormous energy needs at length and how they could play a role in fulfilling them.

Although these delegates did not mention the United States by name, „disruption“ and „turbulence“ in international relations were a frequently discussed topic. There seemed to be a concerted desire to build international energy security alliances that go around and exclude the USA, or at least the Trump administration. For proponents of Trump’s tariffs as a strategy of *’Making America Great Again’* this trend could result in enormous missed opportunities for the American oil and gas industry, particularly with regards to India.

As the UAE Energy Minister said at the summit, *“In an age of walls, our message is simple. Build doors, and the world will walk through them.”*
