United States National Security Council

Trusted Advisers,

The world is changing, faster now than ever before. The once-robust European system is in decline, the Arab world is in the midst of a new spring, and China’s rise in the Far East brings newfound importance to the Pacific region. The United States remains strong, but we face new threats and challenges from state and nonstate actors alike. As a bitter drug war rages to our south, we must not forget the dangers the unpredictable Iran poses to international order, nor the ever-present menace of terrorist organizations that seek to harm our citizens at home and abroad.

Now, more than ever, I must call upon your diverse talents and fields of expertise. Together, we will protect our nation and our people, and reassert the United States of America as the world leader it rightfully is.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
