Washington, The White House released a new national security strategy this week that portrays European allies as weak and prioritizes U.S. interests across the Western Hemisphere. The document, the administration’s first national security strategy since the president’s January return to office, criticizes European migration and free-speech policies and warns of a “prospect of civilizational erasure.” It frames decisions by an “America First” standard, favors reduced overseas intervention, emphasizes hemispheric influence, rejects aspects of climate policy, and signals support for domestic resistance to perceived anti-democratic trends. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
