WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US Vice President JD Vance said on Friday that the United States is no longer the only dominant power in the world, and its competitors like China and Russia seek to outperform it in every domain.
“In the wake of the Cold War, America enjoyed a mostly unchallenged command of the commons – airspace, sea, space, and cyberspace – but the era of uncontested US dominance is over,” Vance said at the 2025 Naval Academy graduation and commissioning ceremony.

America faces serious threats, and countries like China and Russia are determined to beat it in every single domain, from low-earth orbit to supply chains and even communication infrastructure, according to Vance.
Vance emphasized that the Trump administration is committed to keeping and widening the US’s alleged technological edge over its adversaries worldwide.
