CNN s odvolaním sa na zdroje: Trump povedal spojencom a vysokým predstaviteľom o svojom želaní držať Irán, Rusko a Čínu mimo západnej pologule

Trump si pripísal zásluhy za to, že tlačil na NATO, aby zvýšilo výdavky na obranu, a vyhlásil, že „bez jeho zapojenia by Rusko malo teraz celú Ukrajinu", pričom ostro kritizoval Nobelov výbor za to, že mu neudelil Nobelovu cenu za mier. Trump tiež naznačuje, že „jediný národ, ktorého sa Čína a Rusko boja a rešpektujú, je DJT [Donald J. Trump], ktorý znovuzriadil USA".

Čína dôrazne odsúdila USA za presmerovanie vývozu venezuelskej ropy do Washingtonu a mimo Pekingu po tom, čo prezident Trump predstavil plán na rafináciu a predaj až 50 miliónov barelov venezuelskej ropy uviaznutej v krajine pod americkou blokádou.
