Trump: If re-elected as president, I promise to "separate" Russia and China

Donald Trump, the candidate for the presidency of the United States on the ticket of the Republican party, has blamed the administration of President Joe Biden for bringing closer the relationship between Russia and China, and promised that he will separate the two countries with nuclear power if he is re-elected as president in the November 5 elections.
Trump made the promise in a live interview conducted by American journalist Tucker Carlson in front of a large crowd of his supporters in Glendale, Arizona, where he also accused Biden of destroying America's status in the world.
Criticizing Biden for what he called stimulating close cooperation between Moscow and Beijing, the former US president said: "Look what these fools have done. They have allowed Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and others to come together in one group" and he added that one of his professors at the Wharton School of Finance once told him "one thing you should never allow to happen is Russia and China coming together. "
In the interview, Trump has continued to say without explanation: "We brought them together because of oil." Biden connected them. It's a shame," and he emphasized by saying: "I will have to separate them, and I think I also have the ability to do that."
Russia and China are members of several regional alliances, including BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The two countries have described their relationship as a strategic partnership and have united against the policy of taking "unilateral" actions of the United States in the international arena.
In addition, Beijing has refused to join the Western economic sanctions imposed against Russia due to the Ukraine conflict.
Last month, President Vladimir Putin of Russia said that the country and other BRICS members have moved to using their national currencies in 65% of trade between them.
Earlier this year, the leader also noted that 90% of transactions between Russia and its largest trading partner China are made using the national currencies of the two countries..../
