"His comments followed the publication on Friday of the latest US national security strategy in which the Trump administration claimed Europe faced cultural collapse due to migration and EU integration and promised tacit support to far-right parties. Donald Trump doubled down on the analysis in an interview on Tuesday, describing Europe as weak and decaying and claiming that it was destroying itself through immigration and calling some unnamed European leaders real stupid."
"The strategy document said several EU countries risked becoming majority non-European within decades, accusing the EU of undermining political liberty and sovereignty, censoring free speech and suppressing political opposition. US policy towards the EU would therefore focus on cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations, the document said, hailing the growing influence of patriotic European parties as cause for great optimism."
Germany's far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) endorsed efforts for a nationalist and conservative revival across Europe and said it was building partnerships with like-minded international forces. AfD foreign policy spokesperson Markus Frohnmaier said he would meet MAGA Republicans in Washington and New York and that the party supports national sovereignty, cultural identity and restrictive security and migration policies. The US national security strategy warned of cultural collapse in Europe due to migration and EU integration and pledged tacit support for patriotic European parties. The strategy predicted some EU countries could become majority non-European and urged cultivation of resistance to current EU trajectories. Other European nationalist parties remain more cautious.
