Leaked Draft Of Trump’s New National Security Strategy Calls To ‘Make Europe Great Again’

PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – ‘Make Europe Great Again’ and more from a longer, unpublished version of Trump’s National Security Strategy. With its calls for “strong, traditional families” and “reinvigoration of American spiritual and cultural health,” the latest National Security Strategy is a major departure not only from its immediate predecessor, but even the first Trump administration’s.

While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the reportedly full, unpublished version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to — quote — “Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from U.S. military support.

Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on the few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably — current administrations and movements.

Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”

“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.

The White House has since denied the existence of any version of the National Security Strategy other than the unclassified one published online.
