The memo praises Trump for \u201cunleash[ing] the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen,\u201d disparages \u201cthe borderless Biden years,\u201d and castigates the \u201cweaponization\u201d of the intelligence community, \u201cwhich has been mired in old ways of looking at threats, or has been actively weaponized by its leadership as a political tool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The strategy states:<\/p>\n

Our counterterrorism operations will be executed apolitically and founded upon reality based threat assessments. Our counterterrorism powers will not be used to target our fellow Americans who simply disagree with us. We will not permit the weaponization of America\u2019s unparalleled CT capabilities for partisan purposes and in contravention of every American\u2019s God-given rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

America\u2019s new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is driven by the principle that America is our homeland. Americans should be safe to live their lives without the fear of terror attacks, the threat of Jihadists, the flooding of our communities with deadly drugs at the hands of foreign narcoterrorists, or violent left-wing extremists who have adopted radical ideologies antithetical to the principles upon which our Republic was founded. Additionally, we will continue to ensure our CT structures are not weaponized against the American people, as prior administrations allowed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
