In a new National Security Strategy for the United States, the Trump administration calls Europe a continent in decline, warns that migration is causing “civilizational erasure” in European countries, and suggests “cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”
The plan, which was released on Friday, outlines the administration’s vision for the US’s place in the international order. It emphasizes President Donald Trump’s “America First” slogan and maintains that he is a “president of peace” who will err on the side of non-interventionism.
But it also denounces supranational and multilateral organizations, including the European Union, which it claims “undermine political liberty and sovereignty” and charges European governments with “subversion of democratic processes.
On the home front, the Trump administration and its intellectual allies have been vigorously promoting these concepts. However, the tone is particularly strong and is likely to annoy governments in Europe.
Trump and several of his advisors and appointees have threatened “mass deportation” of undocumented immigrants, called left-wing and anti-fascist activists terrorists, and complained about alleged attempts to “censor” right-wing voices.
