The 2026 U.S. National Defense Strategy (NDS)
and the Changing Alliance Structure
|
Won Gon Park, Chair of EAI’s North Korea Studies Center (Professor at Ewha Womans University), analyzes the strategic shift in the 2026 U.S. National Defense Strategy (NDS), which now prioritizes the defense of the U.S. homeland and pragmatic national interests above all others. Chair Park points out the dramatic changes in the security environment, noting that the U.S. no longer tolerates the unilateral dependence of its allies and is broadly demanding that they bear primary responsibility and share the costs of their own security. |
