President Barack Obama said the U.S. is confronting national security threats from violent extremism to Russian aggression that will take years to resolve.

The president’s approach is described in his National Security Strategy, a 33-page document to be released on Friday that offers a counterpoint to Republicans who say Obama has been too slow and timid in confronting global challenges.

Obama said the U.S. is shifting its focus beyond ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to combat extremism, terrorism, cyber attacks, Russian aggression, infectious-disease outbreaks, climate change and more. “Many of the security problems we face do not lend themselves to quick and easy fixes,” Obama said in a two-page memo accompanying the report.
