The National Security Strategy is guided by a clear understanding of our
increasingly interconnected world where the free flow of information,
people and goods continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace
promising new opportunities while simultaneously posing challenges that
no longer recognize borders: global networks of terrorists and
criminals, threats in space and cyberspace, a degrading climate, and
technologies with tremendous destructive power. The response systems and
international architecture of the 20th century, designed for another
time, are buckling under the weight of these new threats. Currently,
these realities describe the world as it is.
Throughout American history, we have risen to such moments of transition
and faced new challenges head on to help shape a world of greater
security and prosperity. The National Security Strategy is a blueprint
for pursuing the world that we seek by outlining a strategy to rebuild
our foundations, promote a just and sustainable international order,
strengthen and integrate national capabilities, all while advancing
American interests, security, prosperities, and universal values.From ensuring strong alliances, which are the foundation of U.S.,
regional and global security, to leveraging American leadership to
encourage sustained international cooperation to address global issues,
America has the tools to face the national security challenges of the
21st century while holding true to the universal values our nation has
stood for since its founding.
