While it may have escaped widespread notice, President Donald Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy signals a long-overdue return to seriousness in American defense thinking. For years, Washington has issued strategies heavy on green buzzwords and light on reality.
The message from this White House is different. It confronts a dangerous world with a simple, clarifying message at its core: what strengthens America’s security and prosperity, and what doesn’t.
Two themes stand out for anyone concerned about energy and national defense.
First, the strategy is blunt about the need for the United States to develop and control its own resource pipeline, especially energy. Second, it marks a clean break from the notion that “climate change” and “net zero” should be guiding principles for our national security.
