Trump, determined to secure himself a Nobel Peace Prize, has been racing around the world trying to force a rapid peace on either Israel and Gaza or Russia and Ukraine to get his big moment, so far all in vain.
Instead, the photo shows the leaders of Russia, China and India – Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi – clasping hands in a warm three-way handshake.
The signal could not be clearer: there is a new alliance here, and neither America nor Europe is in it.
The bitter irony is that it is Trump that has driven these three rivals together, at the expense of America’s dominance over global affairs.
America has spent decades trying to keep India aligned with the US, rather than with China – a position helped by long-standing tensions between the two neighbouring nations. But Trump managed to offend India in two different ways at once: he cosied up too transparently to Pakistan, who nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, while also imposing punishing secondary sanctions on India over buying Russian oil, despite not punishing Russia itself.

If there is some comfort for Trump, it is that this photograph might prove to be as much of a mirage as some of Trump’s own photo opportunities. There is no deep or binding treaty out of this summit, and no imminent prospect of one. Long-standing tensions between the leaders remain, too: Putin would like to be seen as an equal of Xi, but he would clearly be the junior partner in any closer relationship. That is unlikely to suit his ego. China, India and Russia might be getting along better, but they are not yet even close to having the deep alliances of Western nations.
