There is a theory and I would say we should ignore the theory known as Thucydides trap. It essentially states that an established global power when faced with a rising power must fight. Foreign policy experts knowing of Thucydides trap are acting and talking as if an evential war with China will happen. WHen Thucydides trap is back tested its accurate less than 75% of the time, but it's part of the reason the United States doesn't tolerate rivals and part of would scares the geezers from the cold war era who still have a major influence in foreign policy.

The Trump team is essentially looking to avoid or win Thucydides trap with the following foreign policy changes. This is how the New World Order will look and you will begin to gradually see more and more shifts that represent this. First the United States will soften it's stance against Russia and split them from China by making us better economic partners than the CHinese. Notice the Russians still have some petty border disputes with China as well that get swept under the rug so there is some unnamed tension there. 

The United States will secure Greenland and cut off the Chinese ships that appear way to close to the coast. The Canadians also aren't doing much to scare off Chinese "drive bys" Which is why Trump is considering how he could either acquire Canada or get them to beef up security. The Panama Canal was recently removed of Chinese companies and replaced with ones loyal to the United States.

We are also going to hand off a lot of global security to the Europeans, while we personally will soften our stance on Russia the Europeans will slowly start to rearm so invest in american Arms companies since they will be forced to buy from us. Essentially America will merely exist to counter the Chinese and The Europeans will exist solely to counter Russia. Since the Chinese and Russia also have their hands in the middle east you can expect to see the Europeans help Americans and Israelis more in that region as well. 


So that's the new world order and how Trump will get rid of cold war politics and prevent Thucydide's trap.

TLDR

China < United STates
Russia < Europeans
Middle east/ Africa < Europe, United States Israel
south/Latin America < United States
