Overview
- Released overnight, the 33-page strategy asserts a 'Trump Corollary' to the Monroe Doctrine to reestablish U.S. preeminence in Latin America and deny non-hemispheric control of strategic assets.
- The paper declares that 'the era of mass migration is over,' elevating border security as a primary national-security objective tied to cultural and economic resilience.
- The strategy sharply criticizes Europe’s institutions and migration policies, warns of 'civilizational erasure' within two decades, praises 'patriotic' European parties, and opposes further NATO expansion.
- On Ukraine, the administration prioritizes negotiating an 'expeditious' halt to fighting and aims to restore 'strategic stability' with Russia, diverging from prior U.S. approaches.
- The blueprint downplays the Middle East as a focal point, keeps China as a top competitor with Taiwan deterrence a priority, and is expected to guide a forthcoming National Defense Strategy later this month.
