The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, rejected the US intervention in European politics, emphasizing the differences in vision regarding freedom of expression.

Antonio Costa, the President of the European Council, stated that although it is normal for the US and the EU to have different visions, intervention in European politics is unacceptable. Criticizing the US national security strategy, which mentions an "economic decline" in Europe and suggests a "cultivation of resilience" against the current trajectory of the continent, Costa emphasized the importance of freedom of information as the foundation of freedom of expression. The American document accuses European officials of hindering peace efforts in Ukraine and describes an ideological chasm between Washington and its allies.

Additionally, the Trump administration suggests support for nationalist parties in Europe. Tensions have also risen due to a fine imposed on platform X by the EU, which has been considered a form of censorship by American officials. They criticized European measures, stating that they undermine US security while calling for military protection.
