European politicians have begun to react to the new U.S. national security strategy, with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stating that Germany does not need "external advice." The document, which reflects the rhetoric of former President Trump, emphasizes the need to restore "Western identity" and combat external influences, as well as to stop massive migration. It is claimed that Europe could become "unrecognizable" in 20 years due to economic problems and the loss of national identity.
The document also criticizes the European Union for its activities that undermine political freedom and sovereignty, mentioning issues such as censorship and declining birth rates. In contrast, it praises the growing influence of "European patriotic parties" and encourages support for them. Wadephul emphasized that the U.S. remains Germany's most important ally in NATO, but added that issues related to freedom of expression should not be included in the strategy. The document also mentions the need for significant U.S. involvement in managing European relations with Russia, especially in the context of the invasion of Ukraine.
