Victoria Coates: Handling China-Russia-Iran-NK alliance will by Trump’s biggest challenge
Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates explains why addressing the CRINK (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) alliance will be President-elect Donald Trump’s biggest challenge. “The good news is, they don’t really like each other. But the bad news is that China’s calling the shots... This is a new problem. We could treat these problem sets discretely during the first term. In the second term, the Trump team is going to need to realize they’re dealing with a different monster,” she says.
