Script
Today, the Biden Administration is releasing our National Security Strategy.
It touches on our plans and partners in every region of the world. It details the President’s vision of a free, open, prosperous, and secure international order.
And it offers a roadmap for seizing this decisive decade to advance America’s vital interests, position the America and our allies to outpace our competitors, and build broad coalitions to tackle shared challenges.
I’d encourage all of you to read it in full, and I hope there will be a thoughtful and robust discussion of it in the months ahead—where you agree, and where you don’t.
Because the matters laid out in this document – and the execution of it – do not only belong to the U.S. Government. They belong to everyone who shares this vision worldwide.
And the stakes could not be higher. The actions we take now will shape whether this decisive decade is an age of conflict and discord… or the beginning of a more prosperous and stable future.
Simply put, we face two main strategic challenges.
The first is geopolitical competition. The post-Cold War era is over, and a competition is underway between the major powers to shape what comes next.
The United States, we believe, is better positioned than any other nation in the world to seize this moment – to help set the rules, shore up the norms, and advance the values that will define the world we want to live in.
But, we are not on the field alone.
The PRC’s assertiveness at home and abroad is advancing an illiberal vision across economic, political, security, and technological realms in competition with the West. It is the only competitor with both the intent to reshape the international order and the growing capacity to do it.
Meanwhile, Russia’s war against Ukraine builds on years of growing regional aggression. Putin is making reckless nuclear threats. Willfully violating the UN Charter. Relentlessly targeting civilians. Acting with a brutality that threatens to drag us all back into the dark days of Soviet expansionism.
The second strategic challenge we face is the sheer scale and speed of transnational challenges that do not respect borders or adhere to ideologies.
Climate change, which is already destroying lives and livelihoods in every part of the world. Food insecurity, the energy transition. And now, as we know all too well, diseases and pandemics like COVID-19.
Our strategy proceeds from the premise that the two strategic challenges – geopolitical competition and shared transnational threats – are intertwined.
We cannot build the broad coalitions we need to out-compete our rivals if we sideline the issues that most directly impact the lives of billions of people.
Now over the last thirty years, at various points, American strategists declared geopolitics dead. At other points, like in the last administration, cooperation on climate and other shared challenges fell by the wayside.
In this Administration, the Biden Administration, we believe we’ve come to a point where we can and simply have to tackle both on an equal plane: geopolitical competition and shared transnational challenges.
So, we are building a strategy fit for purpose for both competition we cannot ignore and global cooperation without which we cannot succeed.
Now the good and bad news is that the timelines for these two challenges align.
This is a decisive decade for shaping the terms of competition, especially with the PRC.
