Force / Unilateral Authority
“We will deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to own or control strategically vital assets in our Hemisphere.”
This is framed as a standing commitment, not a diplomatic goal — with no reference to Congress, treaties, or host-nation consent.

“The United States must be preeminent in the Western Hemisphere as a condition of our security and prosperity.”
The document repeatedly emphasizes preeminence and interests, rather than an imminent threat to the American public. That distinction matters.

Business / Resources
“Every U.S. Government official… should understand that part of their job is to help American companies compete and succeed.”
This makes commercial advantage an explicit national-security objective, including in regions rich in strategic resources.
