President Joe Biden has approved a new national security memorandum aimed at guiding the incoming Trump administration in countering the growing cooperation among China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, as announced by the White House. The guidance, developed by Biden administration officials over the summer, is intended to assist the next administration in formulating its strategy from day one to address the strengthening relationships among the United States' key adversaries and competitors.
The classified memorandum, not for public release due to its sensitive nature, includes four main recommendations. These recommendations focus on enhancing interagency cooperation within the U.S. government, expediting the sharing of information with allies regarding the four adversaries, optimizing the use of sanctions and economic tools, and fortifying readiness to manage simultaneous crises involving these adversaries.
