US President Donald Trump is quietly dismantling American power, paving the way for China to take its place as the world’s superpower. Trump’s policies, both domestically and internationally, are eroding the foundation of American influence. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has been secretly planning for this moment, and with Trump’s actions, his dreams are now a reality.
In stark contrast, former President Joe Biden had successfully implemented a foreign policy that weakened adversaries, including Russia and Iran. By supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression, backing Israel in its war with Hamas, and strengthening the US global-alliance system, Biden effectively countered Xi’s plans to disrupt the world order.
