US National Security Strategy Criticizes Europe, Kallas Urges Self-Confidence
The United States has released a new national security strategy document that criticizes the European Union as anti-democratic and suggests that Europe lacks self-confidence. The document, posted on the White House website, indicates that the U.S. aims to assist Europe in correcting its current trajectory. In response, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the importance of the U.S. as Europe's biggest ally. Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, Kallas acknowledged some truth in the criticisms, particularly regarding Europe's underestimation of its power towards Russia. She urged Europe to be more self-confident and highlighted the enduring alliance between the U.S. and Europe, despite occasional disagreements.
