The 2025 National Security Strategy abandons the liberal international order’s ideological pretensions, embracing transactional imperialism, hemispheric primacy, and economic nationalism to secure America’s survival and unapologetic renewal.
Foreign policy announcements during the second Trump administration are often like mortar shells; they disappear into the air for a heartbeat, then crash down with enough force to rattle everyone in range. The release of the 2025 US National Security Strategy (NSS) at 10 pm on a Thursday earlier this month was a perfect example of this.
It was immediately obvious that this particular NSS was not meant for the foreign policy crowd. It’s not the usual lengthy and jargon-laden document that wonks are used to. The strategy’s authors went to great lengths to write a short, clear, easy-to-understand strategy accessible to ordinary Americans. To quote one analyst, it has “a clear layout saying, ‘This is what we want. This is why we have a strategy. What are the ends, ways, and means? What does that mean?’”
