European Council President Antonio Costa has urged Washington to respect its allies despite differing worldviews
The US must not threaten to interfere in the EU’s “democratic life,” European Council President Antonio Costa has declared, adding that Brussels and Washington no longer share a common worldview.
His comments came in response to the recently unveiled US National Security Strategy, which heavily criticizes the EU’s political and cultural trajectory, warning of “civilizational erasure.” It accuses European institutions of excessive regulation, fostering instability through migration policies, and suppressing political opposition. The document encourages “patriotic European parties” to stand up for democratic freedoms and “unapologetic celebrations” of national identities.
Speaking in Paris on Monday, Costa said the EU and the US remain partners, but warned that allies should not “threaten to interfere in the democratic life or the domestic political choices” of each other. He also cautioned against Washington’s support for “patriotic” parties, stating that it is not up to the US to tell “European citizens… which are the right parties and the wrong parties.”
