In Washington, the creation of C5 with China and Russia against the G7 was discussed, media reports.

This week in Washington, the idea of creating a new group of countries, Core 5 (C5), which would include the USA, China, Russia, India, and Japan, was discussed. This proposal could radically change the balance of power on the international stage, reports Politico.

Unexpected Alliances and Trump’s Strategy

The idea, which once seemed unlikely, is now taking real shape. President Donald Trump, known for his unconventional approaches, has already taken steps to get closer to traditional competitors. Negotiations with Vladimir Putin, as well as the sale of artificial intelligence chips to China, are examples of how the USA is beginning to seek new ways to build global connections.

“We must stop adhering to old formats and think about new opportunities,” noted one former White House staffer. This opinion became the basis for discussions regarding the renewal of international structures, such as the G7 and the UN Security Council, which should better reflect modern realities.

Strategy and Challenges for the USA

The idea of creating C5 reportedly appeared in a longer version of the US National Security Strategy. Despite White House statements that such a document does not exist, experts believe that the creation of a new alliance could be a logical step for the current administration.

“The absence of Europe in this group indicates a new alignment of forces, where Russia may take a more central role,” noted Torri Taussig, former director for European affairs at the National Security Council. This suggests that for the USA, interaction with China and Russia is now more important than with European partners.

Prospects of C5: Changes and Concerns

Michael Sobolik, an aide to Senator Ted Cruz, expressed doubt that C5 would be a step away from Trump’s previous policy towards China. But in the wake of the historic G2 meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping, one thing is clear: the American administration is considering many options for geopolitical restructuring.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth also noted that the USA is beginning to focus on the Western Hemisphere. This has raised concerns in Congress. Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi expressed concern about how such a turn would affect relations with China, which has always remained a key player for the USA.

Prospects for Global Changes

Questions about Washington’s new geopolitical game remain open. One thing is clear: the world is on the brink of significant changes. How these changes will affect the global order, time will tell.
