Details: Some analysts believe that Donald Trump is approaching Russia to quarrel with China – the so -called “reverse Nixon”. 53 years ago, US President Richard Nixon visited China, which weakened Moscow and brought Beijing closer to Washington, changing the global balance of strength for decades.
Although China praised Russia for negotiations with the United States on war in Ukraine, it is still unclear how it will affect Beijing. Before the invasion of 2022, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin announced “boundless friendship” and combined efforts against America.
Marco Rubio warned that further rapprochement of China and Russia would be a problem for the United States if Moscow turns into a younger Beijing partner. The sanctions are isolated the Russian economy, but trade with China helps the Kremlin to stay afloat.
“We can be in a situation where Russia wants to improve its relations with the US or not, it will not be able to do so because it has become completely dependent on the Chinese because we cut it off,” Rubio said.
“For us, the best result is to have a relationship,” he added.
In his interview, Rubio described the American-Chinese relations as a “great history of the 21st century” and said that Washington would have differences and confrontation with both Beijing and Moscow, but emphasized that it was important to maintain relations with both.
“These are large, powerful nuclear reserves. They can projected power around the world,” he said. “I think we have lost the concept of maturity and prudence in diplomatic relations,” Rubio added.
In recent weeks, Trump has made a stunning reversal in US policy on Russia, stunning Europe with the withdrawal of Putin from isolation and the beginning of peace talks without involving other stakeholders. The Republican President is accused of repeating the Kremlin misinformation about the conflict, including accusing the Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in the war.
Recall:
- On February 24, Trump expressed his hope that a full -scale Russian invasion of Russia into Ukraine could end “in weeks”.
- Trump also said that he supports the idea of placing European troops in Ukraine to control potential “truce”.
