Trump's Security Strategy Focuses on Profit, Not Spreading Democracy 特朗普总统上个月在白宫发表讲话。他领导的政府发布的《国家安全战略》描绘了一个美国利益远比以往任何 一届政府——甚至包括他第一任期内——所描述的要狭隘得多的世界。 汤姆·布伦纳为《纽约时报》撰稿 2025年12月5日更新于美国东部时间晚上7:29 拉丁美洲国家必须向美国公司授予无需竞标的合同。华盛顿对富裕的海湾君主国的"颐指气使"必 须停止。 从白宫的角度来看，世界是美国可以利用其强大力量赚钱的地方。 特朗普总统今年以来一直表明，如果他连任，将会优先考虑向实力较弱的国家施压，以使美国企 业受益。但周四晚些时候，他的政府发布了期待已久的美国全球国家安全目标更新，将这种以利 润为导向的做法确立为官方外交政策的核心要素。 这份名为《国家安全战略》的文件描绘了一个美国利益远比以往历届政府——甚至包括特朗普第 一任期内——所描述的更为狭隘的世界。美国作为全球自由力量的形象已不复存在，取而代之的 是一个专注于减少移民、同时避免对独裁政权进行评判，而是将其视为经济来源的国家。 "我们寻求与 ...

Core Viewpoint - The new U.S. National Security Strategy portrays Europe, rather than Russia, as the primary adversary, indicating a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy and potentially deepening divisions within the transatlantic alliance [1][2][6][7].
