The article analyzes the American leadership's views on the problems of ensuring the country's security. The aim of the article is to analyze the features of the US national security strategy at the main stages of the formation of American statehood. The article examines the key aspects of theory and practice that have undergone significant changes in the formulation of the most im- portant state documents, the goals and objectives determined by senior executive officials, the main directions for responding to emerging threats, and the implementation of doctrines and strategies for ensuring national security, from the inception of USA to the present days. Based on an analysis of the texts of the documents, an attempt was made to trace the continuity of the American leadership's views on the content of the National Security Strategy in conceptual terms, as well as the specifics of its practical implementation, taking into account the specifics of the time period. It is concluded that the features of the national security strategy of the United States of America remain unchanged and are associated, first and foremost, with the American administration's claims to global domination. The results of the study are relevant in the context of determining the nature and direction of possible actions of USA.
