Multiple media reports state that the US has a secret plan to form a five-nation alliance with Russia, China, India and Japan to marginalize the G7 led by the West.
According to reports, this idea was proposed in a longer, unclassified draft of the US National Security Strategy released by the Trump administration last week. According to the news portal Defense One, this version circulated before the White House released non-classified documents, and it is said to have proposed the establishment of a new organization called "The Five Core," as a forum for dialogue among major powers outside the G7 framework.
According to the reported plan, the five-nation format would hold regular summits similar to the G7, with each summit focusing on specific topics, and Middle East security - particularly the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia - was listed as the top agenda item.
According to the unclassified version, the plan aims to reduce Washington's role in European defense, push NATO towards a tougher "burden-sharing" model, and instead focus on building bilateral relationships with EU governments seen as more aligned with American views (such as Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland).
The White House spokesperson Kelly insisted that, apart from the official 33-page plan, "there are no other secret or classified versions."
