Does the Trump Admin Want to Divide the World into US-Russian-Chinese “Spheres of Influence?”
A recent NYT article claims actions and statements from the Trump administration “suggest” it “might want” to divide the world into US, Russian, and Chinese spheres of influence;
However, the article mentions US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has outright dismissed this theory, while elsewhere deliberately misrepresenting ongoing US talks with Russia over Ukraine to support this claim;
Regarding Ukraine, the Trump administration has already made it clear that it wants to create a division of labor between it and Europe to freeze the conflict, allowing the US to pivot to China and return as part of a process called “strategic sequencing;”
While multiple signed and dated policy papers spanning years have laid out a strategy of Washington’s continued pursuit of primacy worldwide, no policy papers exist suggesting plans for “spheres of influence;”
To create a foreign policy dividing the world in such a manner would require immense groundwork to be laid by policymakers, groundwork that simply doesn’t exist and isn’t being created;
