Focusing on economic stability, and identifying russia and china as competitors challenging americas influence and wealth. The president also said washington had no choice but to deal with the challenge posed by north koreas weapons programme. But he broke with several of his advisers and previous american policy under president obama by not mentioning the threat posed by Climate Change. Our north america editor jon sopel reports. For two years now, donald trump has talked incessantly about America First. Today, in unveiling his National Security strategy, he sought to give a slogan flesh and bones. And what he was keen to do was stress what a break with the recent past his election represented. He was the change maker. With the strategy i am announcing today, we are declaring that america is in the game, and america is going to win. But to seize the opportunities of the future, we must first understand the failures of the past. Our leaders engaged in nation building abroad, while they failed to build up and replenish our nation at home. The document says that russia and china want to shape a world antithetical to us values and interests. That is in line with the intelligence agencies unanimous view of the threat posed by moscow, with their interference in last years election. But the president notably didnt phrase it like that in his speech. We also face rival powers, russia and china, that seek to challenge american influence, values, and wealth. We will attempt to build a Great Partnership with those and other countries, but in a manner that always protects our national interest. But, while we seek such opportunities of cooperation, we will stand up for ourselves, and we will stand up for our country, like we have never stood up before. He rounded on kimjong uns north korea, a problem that would be dealt with, he promised. Though few countries were mentioned individually, he singled out pakistan for criticism, and its fight against terrorism. And new in this definition of National Security was an emphasis on the importance of the economy and fair trade again, central themes of trump the campaigner. For the first time, american strategy recognises recognises Economic Security is National Security. Gdp growth, which is way ahead of schedule under my administration, will be one of americas truly greatest weapons. But the speech had nothing to say about Climate Change, something that barack obama had deemed a threat to National Security. America has in the past six months experienced the worst Hurricane Season in decades, with terrible flooding in texas and puerto rico, and is now experiencing the most widespread forest fires in californian history, that some see as evidence of a changing climate. The document instead criticises the onerous regulation of things like the paris Climate Change deal, which this president has withdrawn the us from. Donald trump won over this audience, and his supporters will like what they heard. But the rest of the world, well, they will want to study closely what he said, and what he does. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. Ambassadorjamesjeffrey is a former senior us diplomat under George W Bush and barack obama now based at the washington institute. He said President Trumps speech could have been worse. This is a combination of trumps rather dark, 19th century view of competing nationstates, and in the details, the continuation of essentially american core Foreign Policy since 1940. As your report has noted, on some areas, such as Climate Change, he has deviated. But those are basically on the margins of americas key role in the world. The major thing thats missing in this, compared to what we had in prior administrations, is an overt acknowledgement that were doing all of this in the world, and trump wants to continue doing it, and is doing it, in support of an international, legally based global order thats informed by american leadership. Theres nothing like that in there. This is much more transactional. Again, its so 19th century that Vladimir Putin could sign up to most of it. And even though Climate Change is missing from the speech, in fact, we know that many of his own advisers, much of his military leadership, much of the world and Many American states, are indeed planning for Climate Change. Thats true, theyre planning for it. In fact, unless he follows this up somehow, america is on a path, at least for the next year, to reduce Climate Emissions even more than germany, which is the leader in the global Climate Change effort will do in part because, for many reasons that began with the obama administration, on the ground, people are doing a lot more. But still, thats an area where hell be criticised around the world, because its a serious issue. He was tough in this speech on russia and china and north korea. I guess, with the investigation into his campaigns links with russia gathering pace, it is not a bad time to be seen to be getting tough on russia. There is that. I thought he was a little bit too easy, citing putin for thanking us for doing what of course we would have done, helping forestall a terrorist attack in st petersburg. But, nonetheless, this document stresses, in a way that the previous ones since the cold war have not, that we are in a Global Military competition that, to quote the document, is neither war nor peace, with china, russia, iran, north korea, and International Jihadist movements. That is simply stating facts, but the fact that thats out there in black and white is important, and by and large his administration is carrying out policies that are consistent with that.
