Vincent Rigby on What Trump's National Security Strategy Means for Canada | CDA Institute
December 15, 2025 | Vincent Rigby participated in a panel discussion with the CDA Institute on the 2025 US National Security Strategy, alongside speakers Kerry Buck and Dr. Christopher Sands. He highlights the potential implications of its hemispheric framing on Canada.
Rigby argues that this strategy contains threats to previously held values, which is evident in the language used throughout the document. For instance, he mentions the strategy’s surprisingly lenient outlook towards Russia, which may hint at softening attitudes towards Russian influence in the United States going forward. Rigby also hinted at potential threats to the NATO alliance as a result of this administration’s shifting strategic values.
