Description: Followed by his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump has stated that he wanted the US, Russia and China to closely cooperate on future nuclear disarmament and eventually reintroduce Russia to the G7 economic alliance. According to Trump the current state of nuclear affairs is dire as both the US and Russia had enough nuclear warheads to destroy the world 100 times over, with China at close third. The announcement came as US President Donald Trump is apparently making swift changes in foreign policy and reintroduces adversaries into the global fold once again.
Impact: The announcement regarding Ukraine’s peace agreement and the political will to cooperate with long – standing adversaries such as China and Russia indicate a considerable shift in US foreign policy in the years to come. By addressing one of the key questions such as the nuclear disarmament Trump is edging to disrupt conventional multilateral diplomatic relationships set from the previous US administration. Since the current information can be considered only as a perpetual diplomatic white noise, concise and concrete steps could position and reestablish the US on a pole position in the newly conceptualized multi – polar world.
