"The era of harmony in transatlantic relations is over. For Donald Trump's United States, Europe with its project of values and defense of the rules-based multilateral order is an adversary. One that must be steered back onto the illiberal and reactionary path dictated by Trumpism and followed by its European allies: the ultra-right-wing, national-populist, and Eurosceptic Trojan Horses who seek to undermine the European Union from within."
"This promise of interference, of meddling in European sovereignty, might sound more like something autocracies like Russia or China would do (though they would most likely keep their intentions quiet) than the historic ally that is no longer one. The document, made public in the early hours of Friday morning, outlines the Republican administration's strategy for addressing geopolitical challenges facing the U.S. and the world."
The era of harmony in transatlantic relations is over as the United States under Trump treats Europe and its rules-based multilateral order as an adversary. Washington seeks to cultivate and promote ultra-right, national-populist, and Eurosceptic groups to steer Europe onto an illiberal, reactionary path and weaken the EU from within. The strategy frames such promotion as fostering European resilience while privileging deals with individual parties, leaders, or governments over institutions like the EU. The approach revives divide-and-conquer tactics and coincides with trade tensions and Washington sidelining Europe in Ukraine negotiations.
