Donald Trump's proposed national security strategy advocates for a diminished US role in NATO and views Europe as an adversary, promoting a "Europeanization of NATO" and potentially backing "patriotic" parties.This controversial stance has drawn strong rejection from European leaders like Ursula von der Leyen, although figures such as Jordan Bardella and Germany's Alternative for Germany expressed agreement with its portrayal of a declining West.Commentary by Ingmar Nevéus suggests a fragmented Europe aligns with Trump's desires to weaken the EU, despite White House denials and strong public support for EU membership in countries like Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland.
