From Venezuela to Greenland: How Trump is playing deep state playbook to counter China

The article explores how Donald Trump, guided by the US deep state, is executing a long-term geopolitical strategy to maintain American supremacy, particularly against China. Key moves include leveraging Greenland, Latin America, and the Monroe Doctrine to secure strategic positions, restrict Chinese influence, and assert US power. Historical analogies with the USSR illustrate how economic and political vulnerabilities can be exploited through strategic pressure, technological advantage, and investment manipulation. Trump’s approach combines showmanship with calculated strategy, reflecting continuity in US grand strategy. Meanwhile, China faces internal economic, demographic, and military challenges that may limit its global ambitions.
