US National Security Strategy 2025 Signals Shift in Defense and Economic Policy
DEFENSE
The US National Security Strategy 2025 proposes a substantial increase in military spending from 2% to 5% of GDP to bolster military capabilities and deter threats, particularly from China. It pressures NATO allies to meet new spending requirements and emphasizes the need for greater control over global supply chains, while also introducing a 'Trump Corollary' to the Monroe Doctrine to assert U.S. influence in the Americas. The strategy critiques European governments for perceived cultural decline and calls for a shift toward an industrial policy focused on wartime production.
