The National Interest (Opinion)
U.S. right-center, foreign-policy realist
The National Interest is a foreign-policy magazine published by the Center for the National Interest, a non-profit think tank that grew out of a research center established by Richard Nixon in 1994. The outlet takes a right-center, realist stance, emphasizing strategic calculation and national interest over democracy promotion or humanitarian intervention. Its coverage of the Trump second term is mixed — its realist orientation overlaps with 'America First' themes, but it publishes analytical pieces across a range of views rather than functioning as an advocacy outlet.
