US EditionTrump’s new national security strategy portrays Europe as weakened and in decline
The strategy supports far-right European parties and opposes immigration, portraying Europe as weakened with a risk of civilisational erasure, according to the 33-page U.S. National Security Strategy.
- On December 4, 2025, the White House released the 33-page NSS that redefines U.S. foreign policy and sent political shock waves through Europe.
- The White House frames the shift as opposing immigration, targeting transnational governance, and blaming 'globalist elites' for Europe’s loss of national identity and migration-driven decline.
- Policy specifics include omitting Russia as a named threat and downplaying China, promoting 'resistance within European nations' with far-right European parties described as 'patriotic', and urging independent military spending outside NATO and the European Union.
- European leaders and U.S. critics responded as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged seeing Europe as an ally, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Carl Bildt criticized the strategy, U.S. Representative Jason Crow called it catastrophic, and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov praised it.
- The NSS marks the most aggressive shift in decades, advancing economic and military aims with tariffs and critical-minerals policy while reorienting focus toward the Indo-Pacific region.
