The 2025 national security strategy: A different worldview

The publication by the White House on 5 December of the document on the “US National Security Strategy” – or NSS2025 – has provoked many reactions, particularly with regard to the treatment attributed to Europe in this programme. It reveals, beyond strategic perspectives, a new vision of the world and the role of the United States in the coming years. This document, an expression of a “MAGA doctrine”, is a real ideological and political revolution compared to its predecessor, published by the Biden administration in 2022, the NSS2022 , which itself recorded a break due to the profound change in the international environment that was then required. While we can note the extent to which these documents are systematically, almost term by term, it is the divergence of their vision of the nature of American supremacy that we will examine here.
