The US is preparing for a new “war”.
Newly elected US President Donald Trump is preparing to implement new foreign policy decisions not only with regard to Ukraine and the aggressor country Russia, but also China.
The head of the Vezha Public Analysis Center and the head of the Novaya Doroga Charitable Foundation Valeriy Klochok told Glavred about this in an interview. According to him, Trump will try to change the situation in which the US is losing its leading economic positions.
“By about 2050, China will become the first and most powerful economy in the world. India will be in second place. The US may be in third place, but this is not certain. Not a very distant prospect, because even 20 years is not that long for the world. Trump will try to change this situation by launching a completely different economic model, which provides for an increase in duties to limit the possibility of distributing goods produced by cheap labor,” he explained.
The analyst believes that Trump's idea has a chance of success, but it may have unpleasant consequences for the US economy. At the same time, the US needs to make extraordinary decisions.
“We also need to remember one very dangerous option — the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Trump mentioned this, and we would not like to see this scenario come true. Because today, the lifting of restrictions will open up great opportunities for Russia,” Klochok noted.
It is also possible that Trump will launch dumping of raw materials — oil, liquefied gas, which will be a blow to the Russian Federation, no less than the sanctions. Such US policy may be successful, but we should not rush to conclusions.
“I wonder how Trump is going to sever the connection between Russia and China — in my opinion, this is an unlikely scenario. Against the backdrop of sanctions, the economies of these countries have grown very much, and they cannot be quickly severed. To do this, China needs to open other markets, while Beijing, on the contrary, is closing them,” the analyst added.
