The Trump administration quietly released its 2026 National Defense Strategy on Friday evening as the largest storm in years barreled down on much of the United States. Much like the snow that blanketed the country, the new NDS brings a combination of positive and negative elements.
Regardless, Americans should not let the snow and ice prevent them from assessing the National Defense Strategy (NDS), as well as the National Security Strategy (NSS) that preceded it last year, which together herald one of the most consequential transitions in U.S. national security policy in years. Indeed, the NDS is replete with both strengths and weaknesses that will directly impact the security of Americans. While partisans will reflexively condemn or praise the strategy, Americans should objectively assess what the NDS gets both right and wrong.
