Trump’s Defence Strategy Prioritises Indo-Pacific With No Mention of Taiwan | Firstpost America
The United States has unveiled a novel National Defence Strategy that places the Indo-Pacific at the centre of its global military posture, with a clear focus on deterring China. The Pentagon says it will boost capabilities to prevent Beijing from restricting American military and commercial access to what it calls the world’s economic centre of gravity. The strategy outlines plans to strengthen defences along the first island chain, stretching from Japan to Southeast Asia, while urging allies to shoulder greater responsibility. Notably, the document adopts a more measured tone regarding China, avoids mentioning Taiwan, and states that Washington is not seeking domination but rather deterrence. Beyond Asia, the strategy flags concerns across the western hemisphere, Europe and West Asia.
