US v EU: How Trump is gunning for Europe's woke policies, mass migration and liberal leaders, sparking fury in Brussels - and fears it could be the END of the European Union

A new US National Security Strategy (NSS) has accused Europe of economic, political and cultural deterioration, sending shockwaves through Brussels but delighting the continent's populist parties.

The controversial strategy, signed by US President Donald Trump, warns that Europe is on the brink of 'civilisational erasure' due to decades of decline, and condemns its practice of 'censorship' and 'mass migration' that will render the continent 'unrecognisable in 20 years or less'.

The report crystallises in stark terms the growing fracture between the EU and its most important ally, the United States, threatening to torpedo a relationship that has defined global politics since the Second World War.

It comes as a furious Elon Musk called for the EU to be 'abolished' and for 'sovereignty returned to individual countries' after his social media company X was fined 120 million euros (£105million) by tech regulators for breaching online content rules.

While the Kremlin showered praise on the 33-page NSS report, calling it 'largely consistent' with Moscow's vision, EU officials blasted the US for turning its back on Europe.

'For the first time since the end of the Second World War, the USA is no longer standing by the Europeans,' said Norbert Röttgen, a member of the German Bundestag.

'If this strategy were to succeed, the EU would no longer exist,' he told the Editorial Network Germany.

'What we cannot accept is the threat to interfere in European politics,' European Council President António Costa told a conference in Brussels.

'The United States cannot replace Europe in what its vision is of freedom of expression,' he said.

LOL! The EU allows no freedom of expression and we can say whatever we want.

Wow, they admit the eu is so fragile that ending woke policies could end the eu. I think thats confirmation the eu should be ended, if it’s that weak.

How sad.

[technically right]

It’s called tough love. I’m afraid it’s too late, though.

...accused Europe of economic, political and cultural deterioration...

It's not an accusation if true, it's an observation.
