Biden Global Strategy Tackles China, Russia, Domestic Needs
Newsy
The strategy sketches a "decisive decade" for national security as President Biden faces an arguably more complicated world than when he took office.
The White House laid out a national security strategy Wednesday aimed at checking an ascendant China and a more assertive Russia even as it stressed that domestic investments are key to helping the U.S. compete in the critical decade ahead.
The administration's first national security strategy, a document required by statute, stresses the need for a foreign policy that balances the interests of global allies with those of middle-class Americans.
"We understand that if the United States is to succeed abroad, we must invest in our innovation and industrial strength, and build our resilience, at home," the strategy states. "Likewise, to advance shared prosperity domestically and to uphold the rights of all Americans, we must proactively shape the international order in line with our interests and values."
