Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping could carve up the world into spheres of influence, — The Guardian
After the US midterm elections, Trump may focus on foreign policy — and that threatens even bigger problems for the world, writes The Guardian.
The publication warns of a possible summit of Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping in China. In the authors' view, the meeting could be a step toward a new world order in which the three powers divide the world into spheres of influence, and the interests of Europe and other countries are relegated to the background. More precisely, their fate would be decided without their participation.
Trump is already showing a willingness to cozy up to dictators and distance himself from traditional allies. In the new US national security strategy, criticism of Russia and China is noticeably milder than criticism of European partners. And the war against Ukraine is described without emphasis on how it began, and without a call for Putin’s defeat.
For the Kremlin this has long been a goal: Putin for years opposed support for democracy in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, calling it interference in Russia’s sphere of influence. Now in the White House is a president — a red-haired monkey — who largely shares that approach, The Guardian notes.
If the three countries draw closer, not only Ukraine and Europe would be threatened. In Asia this could increase pressure on Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, and also change the balance of power in the region.
