Trump Warns of ‘Civilizational Erasure’ in Europe Over Migration and EU Policies. In a bold new U.S. National Security Strategy, President Donald Trump warns Europe faces "civilizational erasure" in the next 20 years. The strategy criticizes EU and migration policies, accusing them of undermining political liberty, sovereignty, and national identities. Trump’s administration highlights issues like cratering birthrates, loss of self-confidence, and strife caused by migration, calling them more urgent than Europe's economic problems. The document resonates with Europe's far-right parties, whose electoral platforms focus on limiting migration and curbing EU influence. Trump’s National Security Strategy aligns the U.S. with Europe’s growing nationalist movements, offering ideological support to patriotic European parties. The strategy states that Europe’s challenges should be addressed by promoting the revival of national identities and strengthening sovereignty. While acknowledging Europe’s strategic importance, the strategy criticizes the continent's current trajectory on migration, censorship, and cultural decline. U.S. Vice President JD Vance echoed similar concerns at the Munich Security Conference, attacking Europe over issues of migration and free speech.
