The Trump administration speaks of “America First,” yet a new national security document presents a far more complex picture.

In this video, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Glenn Greenwald analyzes a U.S. strategy that links assertive power claims in Latin America, a negotiated solution to the war in Ukraine, and a break with the prevailing logic of NATO expansion.

What emerges is not a retreat by the United States, but a brisant new approach to American hegemony with far-reaching consequences for Europe and the global order.

This video was produced by System Update and published on their YouTube channel on the 9th of December, 2025.
