Trump aims to dismantle the alliance between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran: what are his intentions?

The elected President of the United States Donald Trump has declared his intention to dismantle the alliance between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. However, the politician did not specify how he plans to achieve this.

This was reported by The Hill. It is noted that Trump holds a notably hostile attitude towards his European allies and NATO, viewing them as overly reliant on American assistance. At the same time, he boasts of his personal relationships with Vladimir Putin, as well as with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

"Look at what these foolish people have done. They have allowed Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others to unite into a group. It’s unimaginable," Trump stated.

The publication recalls that at the end of October, Trump promised at a campaign rally that the U.S. would have "very good relations" with Russia, China, and North Korea, and that they have compelling reasons to love Washington.

Experts from the George W. Bush Institute believe that Trump recognizes this alliance as a direct threat to the U.S. and that it could assist Ukraine in achieving victory. In any case, supporters of aiding Ukraine are attempting to persuade the new president that this would be the best way to break from the policies of Joe Biden, which, while uniting the West, did not provide Kyiv with the tools for victory.

However, it is noted that Trump has surrounded himself with individuals like journalist Tucker Carlson, billionaire Elon Musk, and Vice President JD Vance, who have either spoken negatively about President Volodymyr Zelensky or expressed reluctance to assist Ukraine in other ways.

Meanwhile, Daryl Kimball, executive director of the non-partisan Arms Control Association, pointed out that Trump will not have a free hand to make deals with dictators without consulting key allies—Europe in the case of Russia, South Korea and Japan in the case of North Korea and China, and Israel in the case of Iran.

As previously reported, Trump’s senior advisor Brian Lanza stated that the U.S. is not aiming to return Crimea to Ukraine. At the same time, he described Zelensky's aspiration to return to the borders of 1991 as "not serious."
