Trump's 'Geopromiscuous' NSS: A Post-Ideology, Frenemy-Friendly MAGA Plan

  • Trump's 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) is a post-ideological, transactional approach, prioritizing geoeconomics and American primacy.
  • The strategy introduces a 'Donroe Doctrine,' focusing on securing the Western Hemisphere and managing select risks elsewhere, with Europe funding its own security.
  • It aims to harden economic rivalry with China, viewing it as the new Soviet Union, and Russia as the new Japan.
  • India is seen as a market and a 'frenemy,' a temporary partner to counter China, rather than a full strategic ally.
  • Trump's plan considers NATO 'decayed' and treats countries as 'special purpose vehicles' for US interests.

Why It Matters: Trump's NSS signals a transactional, self-interested US foreign policy, reshaping global alliances.
