US EditionTrump’s National Security Strategy Is a Blueprint for the Demise of the West
The strategy prioritizes immigration and racial identity to forge alliances with Europe’s far-right, reducing focus on Russian threats, signaling a major shift in U.S. foreign policy.

- The NSS deemphasizes Russia as a common threat while reprioritizing other challenges, with Russian media welcoming the strategy and pressing European allies for higher defense spending and more U.S. military access.

Trump’s Ethnonational Security Strategy
The United States’ new National Security Strategy is a tissue of populist ideology that reflects no understanding of the real challenges facing the country and views the main threat as liberal democracy itself.
