flag Trump’s 2025 security strategy prioritizes U.S. sovereignty, reduces multilateral ties, and pressures Europe to defend itself, while New Zealand’s neutrality failed to prevent a 15% U.S. tariff, urging it to pursue independent foreign policy.

flag President Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy shifts U.S. foreign policy toward prioritizing American sovereignty, reducing reliance on multilateral institutions, and urging Europe to strengthen its defense. flag It frames Western democracies as under threat and supports far-right populist movements, while promoting a great-power-led global order excluding broad adherence to international law and free trade. flag New Zealand’s passive, conciliatory approach—avoiding public stances on key issues and not challenging U.S. policies—has not shielded it from a 15% tariff on exports, highlighting the risks of depending on U.S. leadership and underscoring the need for New Zealand to define its own independent foreign policy.
