Unlike his predecessors, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Donald Trump is not going to propagate America’s global leadership, Russian scholar Vladimir Lepekhin wrote for RIA Novosti; according to the scholar, Trump is planning an overhaul of US foreign strategy to introduce a new world order.
Zbigniew Brzezinski’s passing has marked the final transformation of the “grand” geopolitical chess match into a “card game,” Vladimir Lepekhin, a member of Rossiya Segodnya’s Zinoviev Club and General Director of the EurAsEC Institute, noted, adding that it’s Donald Trump who is holding the deck now.
To illustrate his point, Lepekhin drew attention to the fact that US President Trump’s first foreign trip went beyond the usual framework of his predecessors’ foreign tours.
“George W. Bush’s [first foreign] trip around Europe was a carefully prepared demonstration of America’s global leadership and was aimed at providing guidance to the vassal countries for a new global policy (under the leadership of Washington), which the US began implementing after September 11, 2001,” the Russian scholar wrote.
Similarly, during his first foreign tour former US President Barack Obama paid a visit to all major European countries delivering the same message of the US’ world leadership.
“The route of Donald Trump during his first diplomatic and family trip was quite different: Saudi Arabia (meeting with the leaders of most Arab countries), Israel, the Vatican, Brussels (mini-summit of NATO) and Sicily (G7 summit),” Lepekhin emphasized.
