Shanghai, August 9. TASS ANDREY POPOV/. US President Donald Trump could not move Russia and China, appreciating too much of Washington's influence on Moscow. This idea was shown to the reporter of the International and Security Institute of Shanghai International Research Institute Zhao Lun.
“Trump underestimated the stability of China and Russia's strategic partnerships and overwhelmed the United States's influence on the Russian Fatherland's foreign policy,” he said. The efforts of the US leader to create a balanced triangle of the Viking, in which Washington, Moscow and Beijing were also removed the same, failed, experts added.
Professor said that Trump Trump has not yet made difficult tasks against Russia, because this ultimatum is Trump's common negotiation tactic, the professor suggested. Its main goal is to solve the problem, achieve a ceasefire and get a positive reaction from Russia, and do not incite the escalation or promote the spread of conflict.
According to him, the probability of introducing secondary tasks against China for buying Russian oil is quite low, because Trump does not want to break the current economic and trade negotiations between the United States and the PRC. If such sanctions are given, countries like China and India are capable of implementing reaction measures, experts note. In this case, China may suspend tariff negotiations, the professor said. In addition, Europe and Türkiye are Russia's largest energy buyers after China and India, complicating the interaction of the United States with related countries, Zhao Lun said.
Trump on July 14 stated that he was assigning a 50 -day period to reach the deals around Ukraine, then he planned to introduce retail fees with the amount of 100% compared to Moscow and trading partners. On July 29, the US leader made a statement that he reduced the time to be appointed up to 10 days, note that he did not know whether such a step would affect Russia's position. On August 6, the United States gave 25% additional tasks related to India related to the acquisition of Russian oil and oil products.
