National Security Strategy of the Administration of President Donald Trump It has caused alarm among America's closest allies and represents a dramatic break with the principles that have formed the basis of American foreign policy for decades.
The 33-page document, recently released, presents the world primarily as an economic arena, elevating bilateral agreements and economic nationalism above multilateralism and democracy promotion.
It reflects the "most ideological traits" of the Trump administration, BBC News' State Department correspondent Tom Bateman tells the podcast. Global witness.
And equally striking is what the document fails to mention, omitting almost any criticism of traditional rivals such as Russia and China.
Instead, he uses the harshest language when mentioning Europe, which has caused concern in European capitals.
'Erasing civilization'
While previous national security strategies have typically reinforced American values and priorities with European countries, this document takes a different turn.
Europe will be “unrecognizable in 20 years or less,” it writes.
This is due to the acceptance of multilateral institutions and migration policies on the continent, which has become a detrimental influence on "Western identity".
Europe faces the "erasure of civilization", it is emphasized.
European leaders, at least privately, were “appalled” by the document, our State Department correspondent said in the podcast.
"They're not surprised that this is the ideological position of people in the administration, but that it's articulated in an official policy document is quite concerning to them," he says.
The deterioration of relations between America and Europe has been obvious for months.
One of the first signs of the Trump administration's stance toward Europe came in February, when Vice President J.D. Vance sharply attacked European democracies in a speech at the Munich Security Conference.
He belittled European leaders for ignoring voters' concerns about migration and freedom of speech.
And what these new questionable relations between America and Europe look like in practice was demonstrated in the issue of the war in Ukraine.
- Europe is threatened with 'disappearance': Trump administration
- Putin: We don't want conflict, but if Europe wants it - we are ready
- Trump's immigration policy is separating families again - a threat even to those who were reunited after a decade
The document seems to suggest that Europe does not understand the current power dynamics and that the US must expend diplomatic energy to stabilize the region.
The European Union has been accused of blocking American efforts to end the war in Ukraine, and therefore America must "re-establish strategic stability with Russia," which will "stabilize European economies," the document says.
The essential message is that Ukraine should remain an independent state, but this requires accepting Russia's dominant position.
Donald Trump is "losing patience" with Europe and Ukraine, says our correspondent.
"It is obvious that pressure is being put on the Europeans to agree to a position that Ukrainians will practically perceive as capitulation," he said in the podcast.
Tensions over Ukraine have already surfaced.
This was most evident in Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, when Zelensky was criticized as "impolite" and "ungrateful."
European leaders now face the possibility that the US will insist on an outcome much closer to Moscow's wishes than Kiev's.
Russia has warmly welcomed the National Security Strategy, describing it as "largely in line" with its vision.

'Trump's addition'
Along with criticism of Europe, the new strategy highlights the American continent - they call it the "Western Hemisphere" - as the primary focus of American foreign policy.
The administration wants the European region to be "sufficiently stable and well-governed to prevent and discourage mass migration to America," the document says.
The strategy introduces the idea of a "Trump Amendment" to the Monroe Doctrine, as a continuation of the 19th-century policy of US President James Monroe, which established US primacy on the American continent and rejected the interference of European colonial powers.
The Trump administration sees this renewed attention as necessary to counter China's influence in Latin America, our correspondent said in the podcast.
China is not directly mentioned in the document.
Official Beijing has gained too much economic foothold in the region, Trump believes, although his claim that China "runs" the Panama Canal is not true.
Recent American diplomatic efforts, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Latin American countries, indicate Washington's intention to re-establish both economic and strategic dominance in the region.
Although the strategy does not address the military dimension of the policy, airstrikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean and the presence of numerous US warships and soldiers off the coast of Venezuela suggest a threat of military force.
The new National Security Strategy has already sparked debate in Washington and across Europe.
Its impact on Ukraine, American-European relations, and the broader world order remains to be determined.
However, one thing is clear - the Trump administration intends to redefine American foreign policy priorities.
Allies are expected to simply adapt to the new reality.
