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.

- 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.
