Trump Declares National Emergency Amid Military Escalation With China, US Ship Expelled China Claims. The president issues an executive order to protect the US electrical grid from foreign adversaries at a time of heightened tensions between the US, Russia, Iran, and China While this may just be a standard protective measure, China recently claimed they had expelled the US from the South China sea after the US sent two warships into the area that China claims it controls. On top of this a recent leaked intel report shows US allies are in agreement with the US assessment about China lying to cover up the pandemic. While this could just be saber rattling some are concerned that war between the US and China is inevitable. Maybe we won’t see world war three, maybe this will just end as minor tensions, but hopefully the result is not what we fear it may be.
