The Hill writes about this, citing experts. It is noted that Trump will use his “trademark style, combining belligerent threats and friendly relations.” Experts named this group of countries with the abbreviation CRINK, based on the first letters of their English names. According to Andrea Kendall-Taylor, a senior fellow at the think tank Center for a New American Security, the relationships within CRINK are “deeper and stronger than many people realize.”
In addition, David Cramer, executive director of the George W. Bush Institute, called the CRINK countries a threat to the United States. He expressed the opinion that the best way to counter them would be to help Ukraine and ensure its victory. Earlier, it became known that Trump, two months before his inauguration, had already begun to shape US foreign policy in relation to two hot spots - in Ukraine and Israel.
