US President Joe Biden has approved a new memorandum on national security issues, which will become the basic document for the Donald Trump administration in its future work to contain the strengthening of relations between China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.
This is reported by the Associated Press, citing two senior officials from the Biden administration.
Biden's Security Plan for Engaging Adversaries
It is noted that the document's development began in the summer. As officials reported, the memorandum should help the new team quickly determine approaches to addressing threats that arise from increased cooperation between key adversaries of the United States.

Officials clarified that the document is classified “secret” Due to the confidentiality of some of the findings, its contents will not be made public.
The main recommendations of the memo:
- Strengthen coordination among U.S. government agencies;
- Accelerate intelligence sharing with allies on the four main adversaries;
- More effectively use sanctions and other economic levers;
- Prepare to respond to multiple crises simultaneously.
U.S. officials also noted that Russia's international isolation has made it difficult for asked Iran to provide drones and missiles, and North Korea to provide artillery, missiles, and military personnel to wage war against Ukraine.
China, in turn, provides Russia with dual-use goods that support its military-industrial complex.
The publication notes that despite the differences in the strategies of Biden and Trump, their administrations are working to coordinate actions in the field of national security during the transition period.
Recall that US President-elect Donald Trump called the resolution of the situation related to Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine his top priority as President of the United States.
Donald Trump's inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025 years.
