The National Security Strategy underscores aligning with allies to prevent dominance by rival nations and highlights the role of American technology and military investment in addressing global security challenges.

Amid growing global security concerns, the Trump administration has underscored the crucial need to strengthen commercial and other ties with India. The goal is to enhance security in the Indo-Pacific region by bolstering cooperation within the Quad, alongside Australia, Japan, and the United States.

The recently released 'National Security Strategy of the United States of America' not only highlights the strides America has made but also sets a roadmap for future strategies to maintain its position as a global leader. A significant focus is laid on collaboration with India in countering potential threats and ensuring maritime security in vital trade routes like the South China Sea.

Moreover, the strategy elaborates on leveraging American technology and finance to build stronger coalitions and export markets, ensuring that economic partnerships align with strategic interests. It calls for comprehensive military investments and robust international partnerships to deter any unilateral control over essential trade lanes, securing a safer future for global commerce.
