Trump National Security Strategy Warns Europe Faces "Civilizational Erasure," Asserts Monroe Doctrine Corollary for Western Hemisphere

The Trump administration released its 2025 National Security Strategy declaring Europe faces a "stark prospect of civilizational erasure" from mass migration, EU regulations, and free speech restrictions — naming Europe 48 times. The NSS promotes a "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine, asserting U.S. authority to oppose hostile foreign ownership and migration in Latin America. The document limits NATO expansion language and frames alliances transactionally rather than as mutual defense commitments.
