Trump’s reset with Russia shifts US’ focus back on China

Firstpost  

Donald Trump has peeled Russia away from the ‘axis of upheaval’ and by withdrawing military aid from Ukraine has left little reason for the protracted war in Europe to continue. While it sought to outline the top national security priority for Trump 2.0 in advance by highlighting how Russia’s war on Ukraine had accelerated its cooperation with China, Iran, and North Korea. Unlike the Biden administration, which had willingly backed Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s war against Russia, Trump decided to halt all military support to Ukraine. Unlike Biden, whose alienation of Putin forced him to side with China and ended up creating a whole bloc of adversaries against the United States, Trump’s foreign policy is rooted in the logic that it is not Russia but China from which the US has a major threat.
