India's Foreign Minister S Jaishankar just called out a worrying trend: countries are bending the rules and creating choke points, like key shipping routes or financial sanctions, to gain an edge over rivals.
Speaking at an event in New York, he said this competitive mindset is making international cooperation trickier than ever.
