Europe 'already formidable enough to deter any aggression even without the United States'
NegativeWorld Affairs
- European Council President António Costa has warned the United States against interfering in European affairs, asserting that only European citizens should determine their governance. This statement follows the release of a new national security strategy by the Trump administration, which has been criticized for portraying European allies as weak and for its tacit support of far-right political parties.
- Costa's remarks highlight a growing sentiment in Europe regarding self-determination and governance, especially in light of perceived external pressures from the U.S. and the implications of the Trump administration's strategy.
- The situation reflects broader tensions between Europe and the U.S., particularly concerning security and defense, as many European leaders express concern over the U.S.'s approach to Russia and its impact on NATO. This comes amid rising skepticism among Europeans about Trump's influence, with surveys indicating that nearly half view him as an enemy of Europe.
