Is Trump trying to pull Putin away from China – and can it work?

Al Jazeera  

Observers say Trump wants to pull off a ‘reverse Nixon’ by deepening ties with Russia, but is that even possible? A ‘broader rehabilitation’ of ties with Russia While Trump ran for president on the promise that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war, his recent outreach to Putin since taking office has gone “far beyond” peace talks, according to William Jackson and Mark Williams, economists at Capital Economics, an independent macroeconomics consultancy based in the United Kingdom. At the Munich Security Conference in February, Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, said that the US wanted to “break” the alliance between Russia, China and North Korea. “There is little, if any, reason to conclude that President Putin sees the second Trump administration’s foreign policy as the new US normal,” said Wyne. “While his ‘America First’ foreign policy is unlikely to change the underlying dynamics of US-China and US-Russia relations, it is already doing severe damage to longstanding US alliances and partnerships, especially in Europe,” Wyne said.
