He didn't use that word.
What the National Defence Strategy said was, and I quote, it is a cloud castle abstraction.

He says America first.
He is prepared to use the dependencies that close friends and allies have developed over time as leverage in order to extract advantage for the United States at the expense of the United States' friends.
