Five Ways Trump�s New National Security Strategy Is A Rejection Of Obama�s
President Donald Trump�s new national security strategy is set to be released on Monday.
A copy of the document obtained by The Daily Caller reveals a stark contrast between President
Trump�s America First National Security Strategy and former President Barack Obama�s
most recent national security strategy in 2015.
Renewed Focus On Islamist Terrorism Trump�s new national security strategy places
an emphasis on stopping Islamist terrorism and calls it out by name.
Obama�s 2015 national security strategy referred to Islam just twice: once because
it�s part of ISIS� name and once to say the administration rejected �the lie that
America and its allies are at war with Islam.�
The new national security strategy explicitly links Islamist ideology to jihadist terrorism.
�The United States continues to wage a long war against jihadist terrorist groups such
as ISIS and Al Qaeda.
These groups are linked by a common radical Islamist ideology that encourages violence
against the United States and our partners and produces misery for those under their
control,� the new strategy states.
Trump�s strategy also notes, �jihadist terrorists such as ISIS and al-Qaida continue
to spread a barbaric ideology that calls for the violent destruction of governments and
innocents they consider to be apostates.
These Islamist terrorists attempt to force those under their influence to submit to Sharia
law.� A source familiar with the strategy�s drafting process described the reference to
Sharia law as a �huge� inclusion by the Trump administration.
WATCH OBAMA VS TRUMP ON MIDDLE EASTERN POLICY:
Play Video Dumping Climate Change As A �National Security
Threat� Obama�s 2015 national security strategy
prioritized climate change as a national security threat.
Obama�s strategy devoted more space to the threat posed by climate change than to the
threat posed by North Korea.
�Climate change is an urgent and growing threat to our national security, contributing
to increased natural disasters, refugee flows, and conflicts over basic resources like food
and water,� Obama�s national security strategy said.
Trump�s national security strategy reverses that approach and does not identify climate
change as a national security threat.
In fact, it goes one step further.
�U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an antigrowth energy agenda that is detrimental
to U.S. economic and energy security interests,� the new strategy states.
�Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil
fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people
out of poverty.�
The 2015 strategy noted that the administration was �working toward an ambitious new global
climate change agreement,� which became the Paris Climate Accords.
Trump withdrew the United States from the climate deal last summer, denouncing it as
a threat to American sovereignty.
In what appears to be a reference to the Paris deal, Trump�s new strategy states that �it
should be clear that the United States will not cede sovereignty to those that claim authority
over American citizens and are in conflict with our constitutional framework.�
Iran � Not Israel � Is The Threat To Peace In The Middle East
In perhaps the sharpest contrast to Obama�s national security strategy, Trump�s new
strategy takes a hardline stance on Iran, which it describes as �the world�s most
significant state sponsor of terrorism.� Obama�s strategy emphasized the need to
protect the Iran nuclear deal � a pillar of his legacy as president.
Trump�s strategy notes that Iran �has taken advantage of instability to expand its
influence through partners and proxies, weapon proliferation, and funding.
It continues to develop more capable ballistic missiles, intelligence capabilities, and it
undertakes malicious cyber activities.�
Trump�s strategy states that � despite Obama officials� claims to the contrary
� the Iran nuclear deal has done nothing to stop any of the above activities.
�These activities have continued unabated since the 2015 nuclear deal,� the document
states.
�Iran continues to perpetuate the cycle of violence in the region, causing grievous
harm to civilian populations.
Rival states are filling vacuums created by state collapse and prolonged regional conflict.�
Trump�s national security strategy explicitly blames Iran, rather than Israel, for conflicts
in the Middle East.
�For generations the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has been understood as
the prime irritant preventing peace and prosperity in the region,� the strategy states.
�Today, the threats from radical jihadist terrorist organizations and the threat from
Iran are creating the realization that Israel is not the cause of the region�s problems.
States have increasingly found common interests with Israel in confronting common threats.�
The strategy notes that the U.S. will work �with allies and partners to deter and disrupt
other foreign terrorist groups that threaten the homeland�including Iranian-backed groups
such as Lebanese Hizballah.�
The Obama administration, in contrast, torpedoed a DEA operation against Hezbollah for money
laundering and narcotics trafficking in order to preserve the Iran nuclear deal, according
to a bombshell report in Politico Sunday night.
The report said that the Obama administration�s reluctance to confront Hezbollah allowed the
group to grow rapidly in size and expand its influence across Lebanon in particular and
the Middle East as a whole.
Immigration: Ending Chain Migration, Increasing Vetting, Tougher Border Security
Obama�s 2015 national security strategy placed an emphasis on giving amnesty to illegal
immigrants by giving them a �pathway to citizenship,� while paying lip service to
the need for border security.
The 2015 strategy framed the flood of illegal immigrants to the US-Mexico border as a �major
consequence of weak institutions and violence� and emphasized the need for America to help
those countries.
�American leadership, in partnership with these countries and with the support of their
neighbors, remains essential to arresting the slide backwards and to creating steady
improvements in economic growth and democratic governance,� the Obama strategy stated.
Trump�s strategy frames the immigration issue in terms of sovereignty, saying the
U.S. �affirms its sovereign right to determine who should enter our country and under what
circumstances.�
The document emphasizes the importance of knowing and controlling who enters the country
through tactics like increased vetting, ending chain-migration, end the Diversity Visa Lottery
program and increase border security.
�The United States affirms its sovereign right to determine who should enter our country
and under what circumstances.
The United States understands the contributions immigrants have made to our Nation throughout
its history.
Illegal immigration, however, burdens the economy, hurts American workers, presents
public safety risks, and enriches smugglers and other criminals,� the Trump strategy
states.
The document continues:
The United States will continue to welcome lawful immigrants who do not pose a security
threat and whose entry is consistent with the national interest, while at the same time
enhancing the screening and vetting of travelers, closing dangerous loopholes, revising outdated
laws, and eliminating easily exploited vulnerabilities.
We will also reform our current immigration system, which, contrary to our national interest
and national security, allows for randomized entry and extended-family chain migration.
Residency and citizenship determinations should be based on individuals� merit and their
ability to positively contribute to U.S. society, rather than chance or extended family connections.
Two recent terrorist attacks, the October truck attack in New York City and last week�s
attempted bombing, were committed by individuals who entered the country through either chain
migration or the Diversity Visa Lottery program.
Economically Competing With China President Obama�s national security strategy
emphasized its �scope of cooperation with China� on economic issues, which the administration
touted as �unprecedented.� Trump�s national security strategy rejects this approach as
a failure and embraces a more competitive view of global economics.
�For decades, U.S. policy was rooted in the belief that support for China�s rise
and for its integration into the post-war international order would liberalize China,�
the document states.
�Contrary to our hopes, China expanded its power at the expense of the sovereignty of
others in the region.
China gathers and exploits data on an unrivaled scale and spreads features of its authoritarian
system, including corruption and the use of surveillance.�
Under the subhed �A Competitive World,� the strategy reads: �China and Russia challenge
American power, influence, and interests, attempting to erode American security and
prosperity.
They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries,
and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.�
�These competitions require the United States to rethink the policies of the past two decades�policies
based on the assumption that engagement with rivals and their inclusion in international
institutions and global commerce would turn them into benign actors and trustworthy partners.
For the most part, this premise turned out to be false,� the section concludes.
Elsewhere in the document, the Trump administration notes that �China is gaining a strategic
foothold in Europe by expanding its unfair trade practices and investing in key industries,
sensitive technologies, and infrastructure.�
The Trump strategy also calls out China by name for stealing American intellectual property
� something Obama�s strategy did not do.
