US EditionTop EU official warns the US against interfering in Europe’s affairs
António Costa condemned the U.S. National Security Strategy for endorsing far-right parties and threatening European sovereignty, urging Europe to assert its own political choices.
- On Monday, European Council President António Costa condemned the National Security Strategy published last week, saying `What we cannot accept is the threat to interfere in European politics.`
- The National Security Strategy said the US would be "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations" and criticised European free-speech and migration policies, warning of 'civilisational erasure' risks.
- Costa told a conference in Brussels and Paris, `The United States cannot replace European citizens in choosing which parties are good and which are bad` and warned that freedom of speech depends on freedom of information.
- Moscow publicly welcomed the document, while the European Commission's Friday fine on X fuelled US criticism, intensifying transatlantic tensions.
- Costa added that Europe must be sovereign and strong at home, stressing, `If you want to be strong on the international stage, you have to be strong at home`, and warned the Ukraine strategy undermines Europe's peace goals.
