Putin Proposes US-Russia-China Summit to Redefine Global Order
Vladimir Putin proposed a summit in China with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to establish a new global order based on spheres of influence.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit in China next month involving himself, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping. The meeting would aim to discuss a new global order based on spheres of influence, a move that aligns with a shift in U.S. foreign policy toward dividing the world into regional zones of control.
This proposal follows a National Security Strategy from the Trump administration that avoids criticizing Russia and China while praising China's wealth and power. As part of these diplomatic shifts, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin in Moscow, where he praised the Russian leader as a humanitarian. These developments occur as the U.S. simultaneously plans to restart military operations against Iran.
Critics, including the Wall Street Journal editorial board, have condemned the proposed summit. They argue the move is dangerous and could undermine the security of key allies in Europe and East Asia, specifically mentioning Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
