"The new security doctrine calls on the US to cultivate resistance within Europe. United States President Donald Trump's administration claims Europe is facing civilisational erasure due to mass migration, a narrative often used by far-right parties to drum up support during elections on the continent. In a 33-page national security strategy document released late on Thursday, the Trump administration accused the European Union (EU) of undermining political liberty and sovereignty and insisted on the need for US preeminence in the Western Hemisphere."
"One section of the NSS document called Promoting European Greatness highlights the continent's decreasing share in the world's gross domestic product (GDP) but goes on to claim that the continent's economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilisational erasure. The document states that Europe's migration policies are transforming the continent and creating strife which includes the censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence."
US national security strategy calls for cultivating resistance within Europe and asserts that mass migration risks civilisational erasure across the continent. The strategy accuses the European Union of undermining political liberty and sovereignty and emphasizes the need for US preeminence in the Western Hemisphere. A policy called Promoting European Greatness highlights Europe's shrinking share of global GDP while stressing a greater threat of civilisational decline. The strategy links migration policies to censorship, suppression of political opposition, falling birthrates, and loss of national identities and confidence. European far-right parties use similar anti-immigrant narratives, and critics say the language exceeds mainstream political discourse.
