Trump wants to separate several countries from the EU and befriend China: the expanded US national security strategy has been leaked to the press.

A more complete version of the new US National Security Strategy, which the publication has reviewed Defense One, describes the Trump administration's plans to abandon its previous relations with Europe and build new ones – this time with China, Russia, India and Japan.

With its calls for "strong traditional families" and "restoring America's spiritual and cultural health," the new National Security Strategy marks a sharp departure not only from the policies of the previous administration, but also from those of Trump's first term.

The expanded version, circulated before the official version was published on December 4, contains the same key points: competition with China, a move away from defense commitments in Europe, and a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere. But the unpublished document, among other things, proposes new mechanisms for international leadership and a different way to influence Europe's future through cultural values.

On the subject: Donald Trump gave a long interview about the war in Ukraine, immigration, and the future of Europe and NATO.

Below are the main points of the unpublished version, which was reviewed by Defense One.

Make Europe Great Again

The published version calls for a move away from "permanent NATO expansion," but the full version describes how the Trump administration intends to "Make Europe Great Again" — while also calling on European NATO members to abandon American military support.

With Europe facing "civilizational erasure" due to immigration policies and "censorship of free speech," the strategy proposes focusing US ties in Europe on a few countries with like-minded (apparently right-wing) incumbent governments and movements.

Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are named as countries with which the United States should "work more actively... to distance them from the European Union":

"We must support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who strive for sovereignty and the preservation or restoration of the traditional European way of life… while remaining pro-American."

C5

In the summer, President Trump declared that Russia's exclusion from the so-called Group of Eight (now the Group of Seven) was a "very big mistake." He even proposed adding China, thereby forming a G9.

The National Security Strategy proposes going further and creating a new body of major powers, unconstrained by the G7's demands that its members be wealthy and democratically governed.

The document proposes a "Core 5" consisting of the United States, China, Russia, India, and Japan—countries with populations over 100 million. The body would hold regular summits modeled on the G7, each with a specific theme.

The first item on the C5's proposed agenda is the Middle East, in particular the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"Hegemony was unattainable"

The full version focuses on the "failure" of American hegemony, a term not found in the published version.

"Hegemony was the wrong goal and was unattainable," the document noted.

In this context, hegemony means global leadership by one country that, through soft power, induces other states to accept its leading role.

"Since the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy elites have convinced themselves that continued American dominance around the world is in our country's interests," the strategy notes. "However, events in other countries concern us only to the extent that their actions directly threaten our interests."

The White House, by shifting its focus from European problems to drug cartels in Venezuela, appears to be using this logic to downplay the US role in Europe's defense:

"The Trump administration inherited a world in which weapons of war have destroyed peace and stability in many countries and across continents. We have a natural interest in mitigating this crisis."

At the same time, it states that the United States should not do everything alone, while China and Russia should not replace American leadership. The strategy proposes collaborating with "regional champions" to maintain stability.

"We will encourage and support governments, political parties, and movements that generally agree with our principles and strategy," the document states. "But we must not lose sight of governments with different views, with whom we nonetheless share common interests and who are willing to cooperate with us."

Following the publication of the material, the White House denied the existence of any version of the document other than the one officially posted.

"There is no alternative, private, or secret narrative," spokesperson Anna Kelly told Defense One. "President Trump is acting openly and has established only one strategy that clearly directs the U.S. government to follow certain principles and priorities."

Kelly assured that "the other so-called 'versions' are being spread by people who are far removed from the president, and these people don't know what they're talking about."
