Trump's new NSC prioritizes U.S. interests, military strength, and economic security amid rising China threats.

President Trump's newly released National Security Strategy emphasizes a global realist approach, prioritizing U.S. national interests over ideological alliances, strengthening military readiness, and reevaluating foreign commitments. The strategy calls for a more transactional foreign policy, focusing on economic security, countering China's influence, and reducing reliance on multilateral institutions. It also underscores the importance of technological superiority and energy independence.
