Trump alleges former presidents orchestrated a Russia-China partnership
In an interview with Fox News, President Donald Trump has blamed the Obama and Biden administrations for the growing alliance between Russia and China. According to Trump, previous U.S. administrations have failed to prevent or inadvertently encouraged closer ties between the two countries, a development that he views as a significant strategic failure of their foreign policies.
Trump did not specify what he meant by "letting it get to this point," nor did he provide any evidence to support his claims. However, his remarks reflect a critical stance on their handling of geopolitical balance, particularly in regard to adversarial relations with these two powers.
The Times reported on July 18 that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and an unspecified American leader is planned for early September in China. The exact nature of the meeting and the American leader involved remain undisclosed.
This aligns with broader concern in U.S. policy analysis, which highlights that China and Russia have developed a quasi-alliance that challenges U.S. interests and the international order. The Biden administration has addressed issues such as China’s support for Russia’s defense industry, indicating ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent deeper China-Russia cooperation amid tensions over Ukraine.
Interestingly, during the interview, Trump identified Russia's potential natural enemy as China. However, Trump did not discuss any potential strategies to counter the alliance between Russia and China.
The potential meeting between Putin, Xi Jinping, and the American leader is scheduled for early September, as reported by The Times on July 18. This development comes as both China and Russia continue to assert their influence on the global stage, raising concerns about the balance of power and the future of international relations.

- General-news outlets have been discussing the planned meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and an unspecified American leader, which has raised concerns about the development of a China-Russia alliance that could challenge U.S. interests and the international order.
