OJO que el plan del gordo es pasar del G7 y hacer el C5 (Core 5 dicen ellos, "5 cabrones", digo yo) con Rusia, India, China y Japón.

How a new Russia-China-US network could work
A seemingly far out idea pinging around Washington this week would have the U.S. stand up a new “Core 5” group of countries — including China and Russia — bringing traditional adversaries closer and offering a sharp contrast with the existing G7.
While that might have once seemed like a nonstarter, some observers noted that it does have a Trumpian ring to it. For one, President DONALD TRUMP has often pushed to make deals with rival countries — approving the sale of Nvidia’s H200 artificial intelligence chips for Beijing and sending his envoys STEVE WITKOFF and JARED KUSHNER to negotiate directly in Moscow with Russian President VLADIMIR PUTIN, just to name a couple.
A person who served in the White House in the first Trump administration, granted anonymity to discuss closed-door conversations, said the idea of a C5 (the U.S., China, India, Japan and Russia) was not completely shocking.
“Nothing around a C5 or C7 was discussed, but there were certainly conversations that the existing bodies like the G-structures or the U.N. Security Council weren’t fit for purpose given today’s new players,” the person said.
The idea for the group reportedly came up in a longer, unpublished version of the National Security Strategy that the White House published last week. NatSec Daily couldn’t verify the existence of the longer plan (which was reported by Defense One).
The White House categorically denied the existence of the document, with spokesperson ANNA KELLY writing to NatSec Daily, “no alternative, private, or classified version exists” of the 33-page official plan.
But national security practitioners said they could see the C5 make sense for this White House.
“This aligns with how we know President Trump to view the world, which is nonideologically, through an affinity for strongmen, and through a propensity of working with other great powers that maintain spheres of influence in their region,” said TORREY TAUSSIG, who served as director for European affairs on the National Security Council during the Biden administration.
She noted that Europe did not appear in the theoretical C5, “which I imagine would lead Europeans to believe this administration views Russia as the preeminent power with the ability to carry out its own sphere of influence over Europe.”
MICHAEL SOBOLIK, who was an aide to Sen. TED CRUZ (R-Texas) during the first Trump administration, saw the C5 as a reversal of Trump’s own first-term policy toward China.
“The first Trump administration bought into the framework of a great power competition and that was how we couched and talked about the relationship with China,” he said. “This is just a huge departure.”
But the administration has previously contemplated new configurations of power. Defense Secretary PETE HEGSETH referred to a historic “G2 meeting” between Trump and Chinese President XI JINPING in November, sparking alarm in Congress. And the National Security Strategy itself signaled a shift away from traditional European allies, which it said faced “civilizational erasure,” and toward a new focus on the Western Hemisphere.
Rep. RAJA KRISHNAMOORTHI (D-Ill.) the ranking member on the House Select China Committee, wrote Hegseth today to express “profound concern,” saying, “Your description of the U.S. relationship with the CCP as a ‘G2’ is deeply troubling and suggests a fundamental misreading of the United States’ foremost global adversary that risks dangerously undermining the Pentagon’s preparations for deterring conflict in the Indo-Pacific.”
The Department of Defense didn’t immediately respond to questions.
