Trump Defense Strategy Shifts Burden to Allies and Prioritizes Western Hemisphere Access to Greenland and Panama Canal
5d 2
The Trump administration's new 34-page National Defense Strategy, released Jan. 23, 2026, shifts responsibility for regional security onto allies — for example directing the Pentagon to give South Korea a primary role deterring North Korea — and criticizes European and Asian partners for relying on U.S. defense "subsidies." It reorients U.S. focus to dominance in the Western Hemisphere by prioritizing guaranteed military and commercial access to Greenland and the Panama Canal, ties its Greenland language to Trump's Davos claim of a "framework" with NATO chief Mark Rutte (Danish officials say formal negotiations have not begun), and says the U.S. will engage neighbors in "good faith" while taking "focused, decisive action" if partners do not "do their part."
