Trump's national security strategy risks blinding US to other threats, former officials warn
Trump national security strategy reallocates intelligence toward short-term, Western Hemisphere and economic priorities, reducing attention to longstanding transnational threats and blinding U.S. intelligence.
Five key takeaways from Trump's National Security Strategy
US shifts foreign policy to prioritize Western Hemisphere preeminence, reinforce a Monroe Doctrine corollary, adopt non-interventionism, and balance trade with China while deterring Taiwan seizure.
U.S. defense is shifting toward Western Hemisphere operations against drug cartels and Venezuela, raising readiness risks without additional Pentagon resources.
