Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has stated he is conducting a dialogue with the United States, but emphasized it is not directed against Russia or China. He argued that when Western sanctions were imposed on Belarus, it was Russia and China that 'opened the door' and effectively saved the country. Lukashenko questioned why he would now pursue any policy against those nations, framing his foreign engagement as pragmatic rather than ideological. This follows his recent comments questioning US power under the Trump administration.
