After President Joe Biden took office, the United States' "Indo-Pacific Strategy" (IPS) --which was officially proposed by former president Donald Trump in November 2017 -- showed a new trend. This recent trajectory includes expanding overseas military bases to deter China's rise at sea, competing against its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) infrastructure construction, and decoupling China's supply chain in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Trump Administration is calling for this year’s Group of Seven (G-7) summit of world leaders to be held at the White House at the end of June. Originally scheduled for June 10–12 at Camp David, a Washington summit attended in person by the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United States would send a powerful message about re-opening the world’s economies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initiative can help the region secure supply chains, realize energy security, and gain independence from Chinese investment.
