In a Defiant Stance Against Trump's Isolationist Policy, Putin and Xi Reinforce Commitment to a Multipolar World

In a timely demonstration of unity, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held discussions on fostering a multipolar global order, just hours after the inauguration of Donald Trump. This conversation underscores the strengthening bonds between Russia and China as they position themselves as counterweights to U.S. dominance and Trump's nationalist policies. The two leaders' commitment to deepening their countries' partnership presents a direct challenge to the escalating unilateralism seen in recent U.S. foreign policy decisions.
