A Current Issue being debated about American National Security

The U.S has one of the outstanding military team in the world, but it must have an improvement strategy to stay ahead. Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a complex and dangerous role to play in combating terrorism and ensure national security. It is notable that an increasing proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear forces poses a greater danger to global security. Since President Eisenhower's era, the enacted ‘Open Skies Treaty’ (Bolz Jr, Dudonis, & Schulz, 2016) between U.S and Russia has been followed by successive American presidents in an attempt to counter nuclear threat. Most importantly, the nation has been involved in several international agreements and treaties and agreements to address risks related to nuclear weapons and terrorism.

The Current Issue

Despite the provisions addressed in the Open Skies Treaty,' President Obama's government abandoned the highly organized "global war on terror" strategy (Schoultz, 2014). In its place, the government opted for other most effective communications strategy of combating threats fronted by al Qaeda and its associates, such as ISIS. However, President Trump's administration focuses on using more target strikes either by drones or special operations forces in military (Schoultz, 2014). Notably, Pentagon must have the support of Congress to carry out these activities both within the country and in foreign countries by deciding on the best option. At the moment, the U.S Special Forces and Intelligence are vehemently operating in various regions of the world to combat multiple terrorism threats.
