Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Vows to Tackle China as the United States’ “Foremost Geopolitical Threat”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced his presidential candidacy and has already made it clear that he will prioritize dealing with China as the United States’ “foremost geopolitical threat” if elected.

Recognizing China as a Threat

In an interview with Fox News, DeSantis emphasized the need to recognize China as a threat to the nation. He highlighted the growing interdependence between the two economies and drew a comparison with the Cold War, pointing out that during that time, the United States had minimal economic interaction with the Soviet Union.

Restoring Critical Manufacturing Capabilities

DeSantis expressed concerns about the current level of reliance on critical supplies from China, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this, he emphasized the importance of restoring critical manufacturing capabilities within the United States.

Establishing Robust Relationships with Key Allies

The presidential candidate proposed the establishment of robust relationships with key allies such as Japan, Korea, India, and Australia. He believes that by working closely with these nations, the United States can effectively counter Chinese expansionism in the Pacific region.

Recognizing China’s Increasing Presence in the Western Hemisphere

DeSantis stressed the significance of recognizing China’s increasing presence in the Western Hemisphere and the potential threats it poses to national security. He proposed a 21st-century version of the Monroe Doctrine, where the United States ensures that its own backyard is a freedom zone.
