It is a stark break from the course set by President Joe Biden\u2019s Democratic administration, which sought to reinvigorate alliances after many were rattled in Trump\u2019s first term and to check a more assertive Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States is seeking to broker an end Russia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\">nearly 4-year-old war in Ukraine<\/a>, a goal that the national security strategy says is in America\u2019s vital interests. But the document makes clear that the U.S. wants to improve its relationship with Russia after years of Moscow being treated as a global pariah and that ending the war is a core U.S. interest to \u201creestablish strategic stability with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document also is critical of America\u2019s European allies. They have found themselves sometimes at odds this year with Trump\u2019s shifting approaches to the Russia-Ukraine war and are facing domestic economic challenges as well an existential crisis, according to the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economic stagnation in Europe \u201cis eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure,\u201d the strategy document said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. suggests that Europe is being enfeebled by its immigration policies, declining birthrates, \u201ccensorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition\u201d and a \u201closs of national identities and self-confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShould present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies,\u201d the document said. \u201cMany of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d maxim, his administration has carried out a series of military strikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean while weighing possible military action in Venezuela to pressure President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The moves are part of what the national security strategy lays out as \u201ca \u2018Trump Corollary\u2019 to the Monroe Doctrine.\u201d The 1823 Monroe Doctrine, formulated by President James Monroe, was originally aimed at opposing any European meddling in the Western Hemisphere and was used to justify U.S. military interventions in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s strategy document says the U.S. is reimagining its military footprint in the region even after building up the largest military presence there in generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means, for instance, \u201ctargeted deployments to secure the border and defeat cartels, including where necessary the use of lethal force to replace the failed law enforcement-only strategy of the last several decades,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration&#8217;s new national security strategy suggests long-standing U.S. allies in Europe face the \u201cprospect of civilizational erasure.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":120356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":46,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["pentagon-congress","news"],"primary_category":"pentagon-congress"}}},"categories":[160,46,11,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3101],"class_list":["post-72024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-europe","category-global","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"MYBJU437YZBXBJYIDH3AOBGRP4","arc_canonical_url":"\/global\/europe\/2025\/12\/05\/trumps-national-security-strategy-slams-european-allies\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trump\u2019s national security strategy slams European allies - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Trump administration&#039;s new national security strategy suggests long-standing U.S. allies in Europe face the \u201cprospect of civilizational erasure.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trump\u2019s national security strategy slams European allies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Trump administration&#039;s new national security strategy suggests long-standing U.S. allies in Europe face the \u201cprospect of civilizational erasure.&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/europe\/2025\/12\/05\/trumps-national-security-strategy-slams-european-allies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-12-05T15:49:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T01:18:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michelle L.
