Part 13/15:
In Europe, issues such as illegal immigration, free speech restrictions, and cultural shifts are at the forefront of political discourse. Trump’s critiques of Europe's immigration policies and social policies reflect a broader desire to preserve national identities and traditional values. Politicians like JD Vance have emphasized the importance of controlling borders and resisting censorship, viewing these as critical to safeguarding Western civilization.
The broader goal remains to fortify Europe as a self-sufficient and resilient entity capable of countering external pressures, especially from Russia and China. NATO’s increased defense spending is part of this strategy, aligning with America’s broader objective of global leadership and strategic deterrence.
