a clash of civilisations with Europe during Trump’s Administration

The Trump administration’s new national security strategy has got lousy reviews in Europe. Nonetheless, it is a genuinely interesting document. It attempts to do something very ambitious which is to redefine national security in civilisational terms. Conventional takes on national security centre on military and economic imperatives.
