America First: Trump's New Strategy Shakes European Confidence

President Donald Trump's administration unveiled a new national security strategy emphasizing 'America First' and critiquing European allies. The document highlights Europe's struggles, including immigration and free speech issues, while promoting a recalibrated US military approach in Latin America, resonating with the Monroe Doctrine.

In a bold move to reassert its global standing, President Donald Trump's administration has released a new national security strategy document emphasizing an 'America First' approach. This strategy sharply critiques European allies, describing them as ineffective and challenged by issues such as migration and free speech.

The strategy document highlights a significant shift from former President Joe Biden's alliance-fostering policies, aiming instead for improved relations with Russia and an end to the conflict in Ukraine. Meanwhile, it casts doubt on the reliability of European countries as long-term partners, stressing the need for Europe to maintain its civilizational identity.

The strategy also marks a departure in US military operations in Latin America, focusing on targeted interventions to combat drug trafficking, reflective of the historical Monroe Doctrine. This includes potential military actions in Venezuela and adjustments in the US military presence to better secure its interests in the region.
