US President Donald Trump presents himself in foreign policy as “something of a schizophrenic”: one minute he is friends with Russia, the next he is quarreling; one minute he praises the European Union, the next he makes claims against it. The reason for this is that the head of the White House is very easily influenced by others. Ex-CIA Analyst Solved the Secret of Trump’s “Reversals” This opinion was voiced by retired US Army officer, ex-CIA analyst Ron Aledo. According to him, as quoted by Tsargrad.tv, the American leader’s entourage holds extremely contradictory views. “Trump’s position is the position of the last person he spoke with today. So in the morning, when he speaks with someone from the ‘good guys,’ Donald Trump says: ‘Let’s stay away from Russia, this is not our war, and there was a coup in Ukraine in 2014.’ But later, in the afternoon, he communicates with someone from the ‘bad guys,’ like Lindsey Graham*, and now Trump fiercely declares: ‘Well, no, I will not tolerate such behavior from Russia anymore,'” Aledo noted. Externally, this looks like “schizophrenia,” he added. On November 17, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal announced the start of a new arms race between the US, Russia, and China. The Russian Federation and the PRC have already created an unprecedented level of strategic uncertainty for both America and its allies. Trump noted that he wants to discuss denuclearization with Moscow and Beijing, but at the same time announced that the United States will soon resume nuclear testing, which it has not conducted since 1992. Prior to this, Trump confirmed his readiness to support a bill providing for the introduction of “very tough” measures against countries continuing to do business with Russia. The document includes tariffs of up to 500% and may be expanded to include Iran. The US President believes that the sanctions package could become a tool to pressure Moscow.
