What the 2025 Trump National Security Doctrine means for the
United States and the World
President Trump’s newly released national security strategy is a roadmap for a strong American leadership and dominant global presence in the Americas, Indo-Pacific, and Europe. Emphasizing strategic restraint, does it signify a fundamental shift in U.S. national security priorities away from great power rivalry with China and Russia and from the U.S. traditional allies in Europe and Asia, which might lead to a more war-prone and less secure world, as Trump's critics argue? Or does it posit simultaneous great power competition and hemispheric security as mutually reinforcing?
Join Dr. Nadia Schadlow, former Deputy National Security Advisor for strategy, who led the drafting and publication of the 2017 National Security Strategy, along with moderator Ambassador Joseph DeTrani, commentator and former six-party talks envoy, and Johns Hopkins SAIS Professor Alexandre Mansourov, as they examine the meaning of the new doctrine being “pragmatic without being 'pragmatist,' realistic without being 'realist,' principled without being "idealistic," muscular without being 'hawkish,' and restrained without being 'dovish.'"
