Trump Plans to Start China Isolation Strategy with Deals with Japan, India, and South Korea
According to The Telegraph, Donald Trump intends to first conclude trade and economic agreements with Japan, India, and South Korea to lay the foundation for a broad campaign of economic isolation against China. These countries are viewed as strategic U.S. partners in Asia with strong economies and growing influence on the global stage.
Trump’s plan envisions lowering U.S. tariffs for allies in exchange for their participation in limiting Chinese companies' access to their domestic markets and supply chains. By engaging these three nations, Washington aims to build critical mass pressure on Beijing even before bringing other countries on board.
The initiative is part of a broader U.S. strategy focused on redistributing supply chains, developing alternative technological hubs, and reducing global economic dependence on China.
Sources indicate that talks with Tokyo, New Delhi, and Seoul will include discussions on security, high technology, and energy resources, making the project much broader than a standard trade agreement.
The idea of a close alliance with Japan, India, and South Korea reflects a growing understanding in Washington: without coordination with leading Asian countries, containing China's influence will be impossible.
