THE NEW YORK TIMES: America’s goal should be “to help Europe correct its current trajectory,” the administration said in its new National Security Strategy.
The Trump administration said on Friday that Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure” and pledged that the United States will support like-minded “patriotic” parties across the continent to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”
The dark assessment of Europe’s future was released overnight as part of an annual update to the United States’ national security strategy around the world.
Without naming them directly, the document says the United States should support political parties in Europe that fight against migration and promote nationalism. That describes several right wing populist parties like Reform U.K. in Britain and the Alternative for Germany, known as the A.F.D., which has been classified as an extremist party by German intelligence services.
“In everything we do, we are putting America First,” Mr. Trump wrote in a foreword to the document, which he called a “road map to ensure that America remains the greatest and most successful nation in human history.”
In a section called “Promoting European Greatness,” the document offers a searing critique of America’s closest allies.
It warns that Europe is on a path to becoming “unrecognizable” because of migration policies that it claims are undermining the national identities of European countries. And it said that it should be the policy of the United States to help Europe “correct its current trajectory” over the course of the next several decades. » | Michael D.

FFS, Trump, keep your beak out of Europe’s affairs! We Europeans know how to deal with out own issues and problems, we don’t need a man with dementia to tell us how we should run our nations, our continent. By the way, news from America shows us Europeans that you are struggling to run your own country! — © Mark Alexander
