Western Hemisphere Emphasis May Spark Friction With Allies
The Trump administration has unveiled a new National Security Strategy, which emphasizes the importance of the Western Hemisphere and warns of ‘civilizational erasure’ in Europe. The strategy calls for a halt to NATO expansion and increased diplomatic relations with Moscow, while also aiming to build a military capable of ‘denying aggression’ in the Indo-Pacific. The document’s language and tone are likely to spark debate and discussion among defense officials, lawmakers, and contractors. The strategy was released by the Trump administration, as reported by Breaking Defense.
