【Russian experts: During Trump's remaining term, the U.S. will continue to contain China while seeking to expand dialogue】 The first term of the 47th president of will end on January 20. Protectionism and tariff wars have become the distinct features of its policy, and have had a profound impact on the U.S. trade landscape.
Yulafyeva, vice director of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Sputnik: "All containment measures against China will continue to be strengthened. The existing trade tariffs and export control measures of the Trump administration will be continued, but at the same time, channels for dialogue will remain open. This is crucial for the future direction of Sino-U.S. relations."
She further pointed out that Trump is trying to find a balance between maintaining what the U.S. sees as a "normal" trade relationship with China and strengthening competition with China. In his strategic vision, competition with China has become a core element driving U.S. development, and China is a key focus of both domestic and foreign policies of the United States.
Yulafyeva emphasized that Trump has clearly avoided publicly referring to countries that he views as "competitors" as "enemies," this move aims to reduce the confrontational tone of public statements, in order to retain space for dialogue.
