President Donald Trump’s national security strategy that will be unveiled Monday includes a renewed focus on border security, according to a copy of the strategy obtained by The Daily Caller.
A national security strategy is mandated by statute for every administration, and a senior administration official told TheDC that as far as the White House has determined no administration has put forth a new strategy in its first year.
A senior administration official told TheDC that the administration is currently implementing the national security strategy, which President Trump will outline in a speech Monday.
“Strengthening control over our borders and immigration system is central to national security, economic prosperity, and the rule of law,” the national security strategy document states. “Terrorists, drug traffickers, and criminal cartels exploit porous borders and threaten U.S. security and public safety.”
