Donald Trump's administration outlined a controversial "National Security Strategy" last week, advocating for US engagement with "patriotic parties" to reshape Europe while also focusing on Latin America and Asia.The document warns of the EU's potential "civilizational demise" and suggests a heavy-handed US role, drawing criticism from European leaders like Friedrich Merz, António Costa, and Kaja Kallas who reject external interference.This strategy, also featuring a "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine, signals Washington's intent to reassert influence in the Americas, address drug trafficking, and manage migration, potentially unsettling allies despite offering a counterweight to China.
