Trump: In security plan, the US is threatened by Russia and China

The Trump administration unveiled its national security strategy Monday, pledging to put the interests of American citizens on a range of issues, including the <x0-> fight of terrorism”, boost border control, implement strict immigration policies and promote the American economy.

Our government's first task is to serve our citizens, many of whom have been forgotten, but they are not forgotten. With each decision and every move, we are now putting America first”, Trump said in a televised address, reports “Al Jazeera”, the Periscope broadcast.

The economy is largely seen in the Trump strategy document, which says economic prosperity should be considered “a national security pillar” and calls for the removal of rules limiting energy development.

The Trump strategy document pledged “to pursue peace through force”.

He appointed three “challenges key to this end: “the revisional powers of China and Russia, the deceptive states of Iran and North Korea, and international threats organisations, particularly the jihadist terrorist groups”.

Trump said the US has dealt with Iraq's Islamic State and Levantin (ISIL) “a loss after each other” and recapture “almost 100 percent” of the territory that the group once had in Iraq and Syria.

China and Russia

The president's strategy in an experimental way called China and Russia as “contestant” seeking to “challenged American power, influence and interests” and try “to destroy American security and prosperity”.

America is in a game and America will win,” he said.

Speaking before the strategy was officially issued, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said it hoped the document “would play a constructive role to promote peace and stability in the world and contribute to Chinese strategic mutual trust- The US to secure world peace and security”, said “Associated Press”.

The war on diplomacy

Phylis Bennis, a member of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC, said US national security has not improved under Trump management.

I think this notion of America, which was translated into Trump's era into a very direct choice of war on diplomacy. I think what we're seeing right now... is a renewed focus on determining strategic competitors é and China in the context of the dominant exercise over them,” Bennis told “Al Jazeera”.

This is not about protecting people in the US, this is about using economic power as part of a” war strategy, she added./Periscopi/
