US Strategy Document Reportedly Calls for Decoupling Four Nations From the EU
The leaked National Security Strategy aims to deepen US ties with Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland to pull them from the EU, citing concerns about Europe's decline.
- On December 10, reports said a longer, unpublished US National Security Strategy urged taking Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland out of the EU and closer to the US, according to Defence One.
- Framing Europe as facing `civilisational erasure`, the document proposes supporting parties, movements and intellectual and cultural figures who seek preservation of traditional European ways of life while remaining pro-American and fostering ties with nationalist-leaning governments.
- A proposed C5 forum would create a Core Five elite group to sideline the G7 and hold themed summits, including one on Middle East security to normalize Israel-Saudi relations.
- The White House denied the leak, saying no alternative, private, or classified version exists, while European leaders reacted with outrage and Ursula von der Leyen urged respect for European democracy.
- Analysts warn the four targeted countries could form a pro‑US bloc resisting EU integration, while President Donald Trump’s personal ties to Viktor Orbán and Giorgia Meloni support the `Make Europe Great Again` outreach.
