Trump's National Security Strategy Gives Reality Check to Crypto's Low Interest Rate Obsession

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Trump’s National Security Strategy Gives Reality Check to Crypto’s Low Interest Rate Obsession Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/finance/32092806/ The White House’s freshly unveiled National Security Strategy reads less like a traditional diplomatic blueprint and more like a call for global fiscal expansion. For the crypto market, addicted to the idea of rapid-fire interest rate reductions in the U.S. and worldwide, this seems to be a cold shower nobody ordered.

The core of the strategy, signed by President Donald Trump, explicitly champions an “America First” agenda backed by significant economic and military reorientation both at home and abroad.

Consider the directives: the strategy mandates that NATO allies raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, a hefty increase from its long-standing mandate of 2%. Japan and South Korea are also expected to spend more.

“Given President Trump’s insistence on increased burden-sharing from Japan and South Korea, we must urge these countries to increase defense spending, with a focus on the capabilities—including new capabilities—necessary to deter adversaries and protect the First Island Chain,” the strategy says.
