Eisenhower's defense policy, known as the "New Look," emphasized nuclear deterrence and the use of air power to contain the spread of communism during the Cold War. He sought to reduce conventional military forces and costs while relying on a strong nuclear arsenal to deter potential adversaries. This strategy aimed to ensure national security while avoiding the financial burdens of large standing armies. Additionally, Eisenhower promoted alliances, such as NATO, to strengthen collective security against the Soviet threat.
