Trump admin unveils new doctrine of regional dominance

 The US President Donald Trump administration unveiled on Friday a long-awaited paper outlining a new foreign policy strategy, aiming to shift from a global to a regional role. The doctrine claims to be based on the principle of America First, and to be a "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine.

"We want to recruit, train, equip, and field the world's most powerful, lethal, and technologically advanced military to protect our interests, deter wars, and—if necessary—win them quickly and decisively, with the lowest possible casualties to our forces," the document reads. At the same time, it also oulines as one of its objectives the protection of Western Hemisphere, while reversing the "damage" foregin actors inflict to "the Amercian economy."

Regarding China, the strategy reiterates calls for a "free and open" Asia-Pacific region but focuses more on China as an economic competitor. Whereas Trump seeks to end the war in Ukraine, the strategy blames Europeans for weakness. It stated that the US should focus on "ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance."
