President Trump’s new national counterterrorism strategy accuses the EU of letting hostile groups “exploit open borders and related globalist ideals”
President Donald Trump has signed a new US national counterterrorism strategy that describes Western Europe as both a target and an “incubator of terror threats,” while also singling out drug cartels and violent left-wing extremists as major dangers to America.
The 16-page document, released by the White House on Wednesday, says Washington’s counterterrorism policy will be guided by “America First,” “common sense,” and “Peace through Strength” principles. The strategy lists three major categories of terrorist threats facing the US: “narcoterrorists and transnational gangs,” “legacy Islamist terrorists,” and “violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists.”
A separate section is devoted to “wealthy NATO allies” that have allegedly turned Europe into a permissive environment for “alien cultures” plotting attacks against both Europeans and Americans.
“The world is safer when Europe is strong, but Europe is greatly threatened and is both a terror target and an incubator of terror threats,” the document states. “It is unacceptable that wealthy NATO allies can serve as financial, logistical, and recruitment hubs for terrorists.”
