‘America First’: a valid model of national security for the USA? (DIEEEO10-2018)

This document offers some keys to decipher the new US National Security Strategy published on December 18, 2017. The main subject is whether the strategy, the first of the Trump´s era, is the one that the US needs to protect its interests and values in view of today´s strategic context. From a complete reading of the document, it could be concluded that China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and jihadism displace all other security issues to a secondary role. The strategy adopts a narrow geopolitical approach and raises doubts about its usefulness in conducting US foreign policy in the current volatile and convulsive era.
