Trump labels Europe terrorism incubator in new strategy

The Trump administration has released a 16-page counter-terrorism strategy accusing Europe of incubating terrorism through mass migration, while also targeting "violent left-wing extremists" including groups it characterises as "radically pro-transgender." The document, led by Trump ally Sebastian Gorka, recentres US counter-terrorism around drug cartels in the Americas. The strategy marks a sharp rhetorical break from traditional US-European security cooperation.
