The Trump Administration’s National Strategy for Counterterrorism, released this past October, has received positive reviews for its balanced focus on the challenges associated with confronting terrorism abroad and in the homeland.

Part I paints the threat landscape and challenges in prevention. Part II will provide a framework for policymakers to make greater headway.
