Trump wants to sever ties between US adversaries China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, The Hill Sofia Rozhik

Newly elected US President Trump may use “his signature mix of belligerent threats and friendly relations” with some of the world's dictators. In this way, he will try to break deep partnerships between the US's adversaries.

We are talking about China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. This is reported by 24 Channel with reference to The Hill.

How Trump Can Deal With US Adversaries

“Whether this amounts to effective policy, given Trump's impulsive approach to global relations and the opposing views of his likely advisers, remains an open question,” the publication notes.

They also say that Trump is “antagonistic toward European allies and NATO”: he criticizes them for relying too much on US military support.

At the same time, the future US president boasts about his relationships with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un.

We will have a very good relationship, and there are reasons for them to want to like us. There are good reasons,” Trump said, referring to Putin, Xi and Kim in the context of the dissolution of their alliance.

He also condemned the “stupid people” who allowed Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea to unite. These countries, by the way, are already called the “axis of aggressors,” “axis of upheaval,” and “KRINK” in the world. And it was the war in Ukraine that served as an accelerator of relations between them.

At the same time, experts say that the KRINK countries are not natural allies and have many conflicting national interests. “But unity in confronting American primacy on the world stage is a powerful unifying force,” Western journalists note.

“Trump's unpredictability is a strategy to keep Moscow off balance”

“Trump approaches each of them bilaterally and without the strong support of our allies. Because they act as a collective in many ways – and we are more isolated and alone without our allies – then the balance of power really shifts toward them,” says Andrea Kendall-Taylor, a fellow and director of the Transatlantic Security Program.

Advocates of U.S. support for Ukraine's fight against Russia argue that this is the best way to counter the deepening relations between the “axis aggressors.”

“CRINK is watching what we do. … This is a threat to all of us, and the best way to counter CRINK is to help Ukraine achieve victory. “Ukraine hawks” are now trying to convince Trump that the best way to move away from Biden's policies is to ensure that Kiev defeats Moscow,” said David Kramer, executive director of the George W. Bush Institute.

But Trump has so far been quite ambiguous in his statements about ending the war in Ukraine. However, some believe that his unpredictability is a strategy aimed at unsettling Moscow.
