The recent release of the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy marks a significant moment in U.S. foreign and defense policy, outlining how the administration views the global threat environment and America’s role within it. The strategy addresses great-power competition, alliances, economic security, and the use of American power at a time of heightened geopolitical tension – from ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East to strategic rivalry with China.
Join 1014 and the American Council on Germany on December 18 for a virtual discussion with leading foreign policy and national security experts Nico Lange and Robin Quinville, who will unpack the key priorities and assumptions of the new strategy – and the implications for the transatlantic partnership. This timely conversation will provide an initial assessment of how this new strategy redefines U.S. commitments to allies and partners, and what it signals about the Trump administration’s approach to diplomacy, deterrence, and military engagement.
