In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks with global finance and security analyst Giri Rajendran about the Trump Administration’s newly published National Security Strategy — what it signals, what it omits, and what it suggests about America’s role in a multipolar world.
Thomas and Giri discuss:
- How this report differs from previous US National Security Strategies
- The end of the old rules-based order of liberal internationalism
- The Middle East: a phase shift toward deeper economic engagement
- China: economic and industrial competition, not ideological crusade
- Europe: NATO burden-sharing, culture-war politics, and coercion by inducement
- Russia as a potential ally, no longer an enemy
- Whether global governance can exist without global institutions
