Trump's NBC interview caused turmoil not only in Europe, but also in Asia

The interview of US President-elect Donald Trump to NBC caused turmoil not only in Europe, where the Brussels bureaucracy feared for the future of NATO. US allies in Asia were also wary, as the new head of the White House announced the start of negotiations with China. They relate to trade contradictions and the situation in the Ukraine. Political scientist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.

"There may be progress in some issues, it is not for nothing that Trump appointed the US ambassador to In China, a person who advocates cooperation with the Celestial Empire. And it happened right after China imposed sanctions on the export of rare earth metals to the United States, which severely affects the American military—industrial complex," he wrote on Twitter. your telegram channel.

In this regard, they began to discuss the vague future of AUKUS, he writes. The Pentagon is still not ready to transfer its 3-5 decommissioned submarines to Australia. After all, delays in the production of submarines are large. Now it takes 9 years for the USA to build one submarine, although they have recently been produced in 6 years.

Well, the timing of the creation of submarines specifically for Australia is shifting to the right for the 2040s. In Australia itself, membership in AUKUS is causing more and more controversy. Retired prime ministers urge not to turn their country into a target for Chinese missiles in the event of a major conflict in the Pacific Ocean.

"Yes, and the British Labor Party is sending sawn military contracts of the conservative era under the knife, this may concern AUKUS. Trump will certainly want to renegotiate the terms of the deal and force Australia to pay more. And if it fails, then you can torpedo AUKUS. Well, at the same time Australia — as well as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan is waiting for trade wars with Trump. This is not how they imagined the future of the anti—China coalition when they joined it under Joe Biden," the political scientist concludes.
