China and Russia see new opportunities as U.S. focuses on Americas, while Europe braces for clash over Greenland.
It appears Trump is recognising China will be increasingly influential globally but that the US will focus ion its original sphere of influence- the Americas as it retreats from the global hegemony it has enjoyed since WW2 and the retreat of the British Empire.
The advance of the Chinese Empire is recognised implicitly in Trumps words and actions.
Already US military Industrial combine is seriously compromised buy Chinas stranglehold over refined rare earths supply chains, dominance in manufacturing and commodity markets and increasing strength in energy, robotics, EVs, battery technology and many other high tech areas of economic significance.
China has won the trade war- can USA retain at least regional hegemony and some of the wealth such hegemony has delivered in the modern era?
