Trump wants to dominate global energy. The hurdle: China

What Happened

The Trump administration aims to dominate global energy markets while constraining China's supply chains through disruptions in West Asia and targeting Venezuela and Iran. However, China remains resilient with substantial reserves and alternative pipelines from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. Additionally, China's yuan-denominated trade has expanded significantly, challenging dollar dominance. The geopolitical competition reflects broader great-power rivalry reshaping global economic and security structures.
