After Donald Trump administration took office,the U.S.national security strategy began to enter a new period of transformation.The Trump administration,which pursues "America First",has become a global focus on how to adjust and advance its national security strategy,what kind of strategic objectives it will pursue,what kind of strategic concepts it will uphold and what kind of strategic layout it will plan.Proclaiming "Make America great again," the Trump administration is to maintain international leadership or seek dominance in the international community,is to continue to implement strategic contraction or expansion for the intervention of regional security situation,seek international cooperation or seek power competition with great powers,which once again become the important issue of the international social concern.The Trump administration's national security strategy has some continuity compared with its predecessors,but more of an adjustment.After Trump took office,the United States faced significant changes in the international security environment and domestic political ecology.The "challenge" of China and Russia to the international leadership of the United States,tensions over the North Korea and Iran nuclear issue have intensified,and the continuous fermentation of terrorist models such as ISIS and transnational criminal organizations have tightened the external security environment of the United States.The domestic economic downward pressure,social contradictions and political differences in the United States are also the main internal driving factors for the Trump administration to significantly adjust the national security strategy.Under this background,the Trump administrationn's strategic goal of seeking to reinvigorate U.S.international leadership starts with "America First",and with the political populism and economic nationalism as the cornerstone,guided by the trade protectionism,in Indo-Pacific region as a strategic layout,combined with strategic moves,such as politics,economy,military,culture,to construct a hybrid conservative international strategy.The national security strategy under the Trump administration has had a relatively negative impact on the international community and regional powers.From the perspective of the international community,this strategy is likely to lead to the escalation of the "security dilemma" of major countries,the differentiation and restructuring of the international security system and political-economic patterns,the disintegration of the international order,and the absence of leadership in global governance.For the United States itself,the national security strategy of the Trump administration will also easily exacerbate the polarization of domestic politics and reduce the international credibility and leadership of the United States.In view of the relatively large negative impact of the Trump administration's national security strategy,the actual implementation of its strategy was hampered by the domestic political system and the dissatisfaction of countries related to the strategy,including the U.S.allies,which also reduced the actual implementation effect of the strategy.The Trump administration's national security strategy is,it should be said,a mirror.From the perspective of strategic choice,it is the process of combining the trend of the times and the change of international security environment with the actual situation in the United States.From the perspective of the reality of strategic promotion,its introduction and promotion is a process in which the Trump administration tries to overcome the limitations and difficulties at home and abroad and obtain strategic opportunities from the competition among great powers.Therefore,it is of great benefit to China to maintain an objective and calm understanding of the national security strategy of the Trump administration and try to avoid advantages and disadvantages.
