Rewriting the script on the Middle East began last May when President Donald Trump visited three Gulf states, securing hundreds of billions in deals and resetting relations.

“Trump’s triumphal tour through the Middle East, those three Gulf states, really pushed China and Russia out of the region ... and what we have witnessed since then is the further reduction of Russian and Chinese influence there—and that’s culminated with the strike on Iran of the 28th of February,” Gordon Chang, China commentator and author of “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,” said on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program, which aired on March 2.
