The U.S. Explained Trump's Desire to Reach a Peace Deal with Putin 0 11

China is one of the reasons why U.S. President Donald Trump is not abandoning a peace deal with Russian leader Vladimir Putin regarding Ukraine. This is reported by Politico.

The White House administration noted that encouraging Moscow to end the war in Ukraine could, in the long term, change the global balance of power to the detriment of China. Washington believes that if Russia is pushed to end the conflict, reintegrate into the global economy, and attract American investments, it could over time weaken the country's dependence on China and alter the global order, the article states.

It was previously reported that Trump intentionally uses sudden postponements of foreign visits to gain diplomatic advantage. According to Bloomberg, the decision to delay a trip to China scheduled for the end of March was another example of this strategy.
