A new US national security strategy document has sparked concern among European leaders, signaling a potential shift in transatlantic relations. The document suggests the US will support resistance within the EU to correct its trajectory, citing concerns about migration and restrictions on political liberty. European Council President António Costa criticized the US for threatening to interfere in European politics, deeming it unacceptable for allies. The Kremlin welcomed the US strategy, while EU-US relations were further strained by a fine imposed on Elon Musk's X. Analysts view the document as codifying a strategy that supports regime change in Europe, marking a fundamental change in the relationship.
