The Trump administration released a new national security strategy on Friday. The document outlines a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, moving from a historic global role toward a greater focus on the Americas.
The strategy details President Donald Trump's "America First" worldview. It calls for increased U.S. influence in Latin America and a vigorous effort to combat illegal migration.
While identifying China as a top competitor, the strategy marks a change from prior U.S. emphasis on refocusing military and economic attention toward Asia. The new approach prioritizes regional dominance and border security as core national interests.
