Inside President Trump's new 'America First' national security strategy

  • On Thursday, the White House released a 33-page National Security Strategy reviving the Monroe Doctrine as a `Trump Corollary` and shifting focus toward the Western Hemisphere.
  • The strategy says the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore preeminence, protect the homeland, and deny non‑Hemispheric competitors control of ports, energy, and telecoms.
  • US forces have carried out strikes on vessels described as cartel assets, sinking boats and killing dozens, while deploying thousands of troops, an aircraft carrier, and warships to the southern Caribbean in recent months.
  • Regional and legal experts say the strategy could rekindle sovereignty disputes, as officials argue it treats the Hemisphere as a US security zone, raising legal tensions.
  • The plan pairs a hemispheric pivot with a proposed nationwide `Golden Dome for America` missile shield, prioritizing the Americas over other regions as 64 percent support greater engagement, the Reagan National Defense Survey shows.
