The establishment broadcast their shock at the U.S./Russia meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday, with a New York Times headline that read: "U.S. and Russia Pursue Partnership in a Head-Spinning Shift in Relations."
In remarks from the Oval Office on February 13th, President Trump raised the possibility that the military budgets of the United States, along with those of Russia and China, might be cut in half.
President Trump continues to seek peaceful negotiated solutions that benefit all. Could he develop a "Four Powers" agreement, and finally move us away from globalization between the world's biggest nations?
On Wednesday, President Trump discussed "Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects" in a telephone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. Significantly President Trump said:
"We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering, that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many! We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together."
President Trump reported that the two Presidents agreed to start negotiations immediately to end the war in Ukraine, but the questions facing humanity are far broader than ending the Ukraine war alone.
A New Treaty of Westphalia
This is why it is crucial to raise once again Lyndon LaRouche’s proposal for a new Treaty of Westphalia, a "Four Power agreement" between the USA, Russia, China and India to create a New Bretton Woods, fixed exchange rate system.
In August 2018, I wrote a letter which was sent to Presidents Trump, Putin, Xi and Prime Minister Modi making such a proposal. Now several years later with all four leaders in power, this proposal has regained its urgency.

The "new world order" envisioned by President Trump is a world of strong, sovereign nations working together for their mutual benefit. It is a world based on the principles of the American System, a system that has made the United States the most prosperous and powerful nation in history.
