Trump soll „vier Länder davon überzeugen, die EU zu verlassen“, wie aus einem durchgesickerten Dokument hervorgeht

The Trump administration intends to pull four countries away from the European Union (EU), according to a leaked copy of the US National Security Strategy (NSS).

The official NSS, released on Dec 4, warned that Europe faced “civilisational erasure” if [it did not cut migration](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/12/05/trump-says-europe-facing-civilisational-erasure-migration/) and would be “unrecognisable in 20 years or less” if present trends continued.

But a longer version of the strategy, which was reportedly circulated before the White House unclassified the 29-page document, is more explicit about how the US can “Make Europe Great Again”.

The White House denied the longer version existed, calling reports “fake news”.

The NSS proposes that the US work on fostering [relationships with European countries](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/12/08/antonio-costa-warns-trump-off-europe-meddling/) aligned with the Trump administration, according to Defence One.

The document reportedly lists Italy, Hungary, Poland and Austria as countries the US should “work more with… the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union]”.
