On Tuesday, December 9, at 11:30 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security will host an event focused on unpacking the key takeaways of the 2025 National Security Strategy.

The 2025 National Security Strategy prioritizes the Western Hemisphere, calls for US dominance in emerging technologies, and reinforces the need for allies to take on an increased role in burden sharing in the Indo-Pacific and Europe. Our experts will walk through what the strategy means for key regions, what it is missing, and how it will shape the future of US foreign policy.
