Russia will not like it very much: the expert explained Trump’s goals regarding China and the oil market

Trump insists on lowering the price of oil / photo REUTERSUS President Donald Trump is speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the language of ultimatums, while directly threatening China. This opinion was expressed by military and political commentator Oleksandr Kovalenko.

“Donald Trump’s goals are clearly visible through his statements… Moreover, his first goal, pressure on China, will be implemented in parallel with the goal of ending the war in Ukraine, with the help of pressure on Russia,” the expert noted.

According to him, Donald Trump’s statements regarding Greenland and the Panama Canal are squeezing China out of the zone of US interests:

“But China may be offered a deal that Russia might not like very much, and which Beijing can’t refuse in order to keep its Celestial Harbor in a state of quiet.”

As for oil prices, as Kovalenko emphasized, this is the energy expansion of the United States.

“And Trump will not give up his goal under any circumstances, so first – the collapse of the oil market, and then – the conversation with Russia. And even if the Kremlin contacts, the collapse will still happen,” the observer expressed confidence.

It will be recalled that on January 24, Donald Trump called on OPEC to reduce oil prices in order to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible. According to him, low world oil prices will help “quickly stop” the war:

“One of the ways to quickly stop this (war in Ukraine – UNIAN) is to stop making so much money and lower oil prices for OPEC. Therefore, OPEC – collapse oil prices. Then this war will stop immediately.”
