What's America's Beef with Europe? | LBC

Dec 6, 2025 | America should "cultivate resistance" in Europe as the continent is subverting democracy, blocking a Ukraine peace deal and facing "civilisational erasure" because of mass migration, according to a new national security document.

The first strategy since Donald Trump returned to the presidency is a targeted challenge to the European Union, claiming it ideologically divided to the US and "undermines sovereignty". It also sets out America's changing approach to Russia and China.

Ali Miraj is joined by Sir Robin Niblett, former director and chief executive of Chatham House, to discuss why some in the Trump administration are so concerned about the state of Europe.
