The document outlines a vision of a world order where the US de-prioritizes engagement with larger parts of the globe, including Africa, and focuses on competition with China.
Criticism of immigration

Immigration has drained domestic resources, increased violence and other crimes, weakened social cohesion, distorted labor markets, and undermined national security. The era of mass migration must end
Accusations against Europe
The document criticizes Europe, accusing it of "undermining peace in Ukraine" and internal democratic problems. The strategy claims that the policies of the European Union and other organizations "undermine political freedom and sovereignty" and warns that "the continent will become unrecognizable in 20 years or less" if current trends continue.

Confrontation with China
Trump believes that years of economic cooperation with China were a "net loss" for Americans, as US efforts only "strengthened the communist country at the expense of the US."
