Trump's NSS 2025: Critics Warn of 'East India Company' Tactics, Threat to US Power

• President Donald Trump's NSS 2025 prioritizes personal enrichment and 'culture wars,' drawing parallels to the British East India Company's extractive economics.
• Experts like Anil Raman and Sriparna Pathak argue Trump's foreign policy extends his domestic agenda of White Christian nationalism and self-interest.
• The strategy employs '3Cs' (Civilization, Christianity, Commerce) for neocolonialism, forming alliances and seeking resources akin to colonial powers.
• Critics suggest Trump's policies, including the G-2 with China, are self-defeating, unilaterally ending rivalry and accelerating China's rise as a sole superpower.
• The article warns that Trump's profit-minded governance could lead to the collapse of America's superpower status, benefiting adversaries like China.
