Rival Powers Exploit Choke Points to Challenge Trump's Agenda
As President Trump pursues his aggressive foreign policy, rival nations are finding ways to counter his moves by seizing control of critical global choke points.
In his push to reshape the global order, President Donald Trump has aggressively wielded American economic and military power. However, rival nations are increasingly finding ways to counter his agenda by seizing control of key choke points around the world.
From the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East to the South China Sea, countries like Iran, China, and Russia are leveraging their geographic advantages to challenge American dominance. By restricting the flow of trade, energy, and information through these critical chokepoints, they are able to project power and limit the United States' ability to exert its will.
