0:17Now PlayingSecretary of State Marco Rubio mapped out a US strategy for managing Russia’s close relationship with China, saying Washington wants to dilute ties without sowing division between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
“I don’t know if we’ll ever be successful completely at peeling them off of a relationship with the Chinese,” Rubio told conservative media outlet Breitbart News, referring to Russia. “I also don’t think having China and Russia at each other’s neck is good for global stability because they’re both nuclear powers.”
Donald Trump’s recent embrace of Russia has been seen by some analysts as an attempt to split Moscow from Beijing, in a so-called “reverse Nixon.” President Richard Nixon’s historic trip to China some 53 years ago undermined the Kremlin’s global influence, and pulled Beijing closer to Washington, in a move that shifted the international balance of power for decades.
