Government officials in Russia and China reacted critically to President Donald Trump's national security strategy, which lists threats from both countries in addition to Iran and North Korea.
The strategy, unveiled Monday, puts "America first" in what the president called "an extraordinarily dangerous world."
A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Tuesday the Kremlin could not agree with Trump's statement that Russia is a threat to U.S. security -- and that his remarks struck Moscow as "imperial" and showed "an aversion to a multi-polar world."
The Chinese government also was critical of Trump's vision -- especially the president labeling Beijing a strategic rival, reflecting a "victory of hardliners" in the administration.
The Xinhua News Agency wrote that Trump's stance "probably means Chinese-U.S. economic and trade relations will face even more pressure and challenges."
