Washington, United States: President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that China and Russia threaten American values, confirming Washington's pivot to great power rivalry as the core of its national security policy.

"Around the world, we face rogue regimes, terrorist groups and rivals like China and Russia that challenge our interests, our economy, and our values," Trump told Congress in his State of the Union address.

"In confronting these dangers, we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict, and unmatched power is the surest means of our defense."
