Immediately after being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday (the 24th), Trump signed a slew of executive orders from his office, demonstrating his will to govern. Of course, not every proposal he has put forward has been fulfilled. For example, the issue of citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants, and the interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, are all matters Trump cannot address. However, some issues may need to be addressed before they can be truly resolved. For Trump, the once easily resolved issues with North Korea and Russia may require a thorough resolution of the China issue before they can be fully resolved. In other words, Xi Jinping has become the greatest obstacle to the restoration of world peace.
China is a key supporter of the North Korean regime in the Russia-Ukraine war
Trump has a certain level of rapport with both Russia's Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-un, and is familiar with their personalities. This is a significant advantage for Trump. While rapport can make political issues easier to resolve, at least by understanding each other's temperaments and minimizing mistakes, friendship isn't absolute. North Korea and Russia are currently leaning so closely to China because, in a Russia plagued by extreme nationalism, even if Putin retains the Ukrainian territory he invaded, a hasty ceasefire could cost him his presidency. North Korea's rapprochement with Russia stems from its complete allegiance to the United States, which both China and Russia will do their utmost to prevent. North Korea's economic predicament requires the same approach as Trump's initial plan for crossing the 38th parallel, which would require eliminating Chinese influence on North Korea. This obstacle is clearly too great.
Whether it's North Korea's participation in the unjust invasion of Ukraine or Russia's evil decision to invade Ukraine, neither Russia nor North Korea would have carried it out without China's support. Therefore, the key to Trump's restoration of world peace remains resolving the China issue. Without China, Putin's war cannot be sustained, and the North Korean regime may not have the financial resources to return to the negotiating table as Trump demands.
