US president Donald Trump will declare that China and Russia are competitors seeking to challenge U.S. power and erode its security and prosperity, in a national security strategy he will lay out in a speech on Monday, Reuters reported.

“They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence,” according to excerpts of Trump’s strategy released by the White House.

The singling out of China and Russia as “revisionist powers” in the document reflects the Trump administration’s wariness of them despite Trump’s own attempts to build strong relations with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The strategy will pledge to protect critical U.S. infrastructure from cyber hacking and vow to “go after malicious cyber actors.” Both China and Russia are often accused of cyber attacks against U.S. targets, allegations they deny.
