"The 29-page US National Security Strategy (NSS) sent shock waves around Europe when it was unveiled last week, condemning Washington's European allies as "weak" and offering support to far-right political parties. According to US-based news channel Defence One, a longer and unpublished version of the document suggested taking Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland out of the EU and into greater alignment with the US, while backing movements supportive of "traditional European ways of life"."
"Defence One claims that it elaborated on how Mr Trump would like to build Washington's relationship with ideologically aligned administrations, as the US focuses on domestic priorities. No alternative, private, or classified version exists "We should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life...while remaining pro-American," it said, according to Defence One."
The 29-page US National Security Strategy condemned Washington's European allies as weak and offered support to far-right political parties. A purported longer, unpublished version reportedly recommended moving Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland out of the EU and into closer alignment with the US, and backing movements that preserve traditional European ways of life. Defence One said the expanded text outlined plans to cultivate relationships with ideologically aligned administrations as the US prioritizes domestic concerns. The White House denied any alternative, private, or classified version of the NSS. The published NSS also accused Europe of failing to stop the war in Ukraine and described France and Germany as decaying due to migration and economic stagnation.
