A still classified version of the US national security strategy makes clear that a "cental part of Trump's plan" is about getting involved in European politics and breaking up the EU, says founder and Director of European Council on foreign relations, Mark Leonard.
Trump wants to break up the EU to weaken each country. In so doing, he will strengthen America. This is a perfect example of one of the oldest tricks in the playbook: divide and rule. In addition, he is doing his buddy Putin a great favour. The weaker Europe will become, the easier it will be to invade. Donald Trump is truly a treacherous man. He is a man full to the brim with bitterness, rancour, and stupidity. — © Mark Alexander
