America’s Role in Europe Transformed: Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy and Mass Immigration
“We want Europe to remain European.” This simple statement, found in the Trump administration’s newly released national security strategy, upends the transatlantic relationship as it has existed for the past 60 years. Liberal Europeans may rage on X about how America is no longer a country they recognize or that America is now an “enemy,” but this will not stop the inevitable policy changes that the United States can, and likely will, force upon European elites.
Western civilization, which is also European civilization, is the most successful civilization in human history. No other civilization has contributed so much to the realms of culture, science, and human prosperity. For centuries the West was led by one, or a handful, of major European powers—generally Britain but sometimes also France, Germany, and Spain. Since the two world wars, though, it has been a child of Europe that has taken the mantle of leading the West: The United States of America.
Very few major political developments have happened in the West without the ascent of the United States. It was George Ball, George Kennan, and George C. Marshall who all contributed to Jean Monnet’s project of a United Europe.
Without the involvement of the Georges and their respective presidents (Eisenhower, Roosevelt, and Truman) it is highly unlikely that the European Coal and Steel Community would have come to exist. The European Union as we know it today would have never come into being. It was also the Americans, specifically the Kennedy administration, that gave the British the green light to seek EU membership without risk of damaging the so-called “special relationship” between the two powers. Outside of the European Union, it is the United States that props up NATO, keeps the lights on at the OECD, and is the main power in the G7. If there is an institution that predominates across Western world, it will be an institution propped up by the United States.
Combined with this massive institutional dominance was American ideological dominance. American cultural products in the form of videogames and Hollywood productions dominate the West’s media market while American universities have given birth to most of the radical anti-nationalist ideas that now permeate European institutions as heavily as they have infected the mechanisms of state and education in the US. Now the American administration is working to reverse this damage and preserve Western Civilization.
This new national security strategy is not merely a document about how to protect American interests abroad—it’s a manifesto for preserving Western Civilization and keeping Europe a continent full of European people.
Brussels and the other European capitals will surely virtue signal about the strength of their diverse societies despite the regular sexual assaults and murders of their citizens, but the Americans should ignore them. Trump is laying down a new vision for the West: The era of mass migration is over, and it’s time for America’s European allies to reclaim their sovereignty before they vanish into a multicultural mishmash. As the strategy bluntly states, “We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.”
At its core, the strategy declares the “era of mass migration“ dead and buried. Why? Because unchecked inflows strain resources, spike crime, erode social cohesion, lead to all sorts of political instability, and distort labor markets in already weak European economies. These are issues that any sane observer has seen in every country and major city in Europe West of the Polish border. First among these observers of decline have been the people of Europe themselves. The document warns of Europe’s “civilizational erasure” through policies that are “transforming the continent,” cratering birthrates, and irradicating national identities. Again, this is beyond dispute. In a multicultural system, European governments spend more time attempting to manage relations between “communities” than they do promoting ancient national cultures. In many circumstances, the governing elite have become explicitly hostile to the countries they lead. In contrast, Trump’s vision is one of sovereign nations in control of who crosses their borders, deciding “whom to admit—in what numbers and from where”—because that’s what defines a nation’s future. This isn’t just tough talk. It’s a direct challenge to the open-borders orthodoxy that turned Europe into a demographic experiment gone wrong.
The U.S. won’t stop at words. Recent moves by the State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio show America is now leading by example and prodding its allies to follow suit. Diplomats have been instructed to raise alarms about the “human rights implications and public safety impacts of mass migration” in host countries, emphasizing “violent crimes associated with people of a migration background.” American embassies are now tasked with assessing how mass inflows are undermining security and social fabric, effectively urging allies to ditch the open borders approach to immigration that most of Europe has had since at least the 1970s.
It’s a diplomatic offensive that’s refreshingly blunt: America refuses to subsidize Europe’s suicide.
Most importantly though, the administration is correct in saying Europe faces erasure. In Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, and other European cities, native Europeans are becoming a minority. In the major cities, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Malmo, Amsterdam, and Brussels Europeans have already become a minority. At the national level, all of the native peoples of Europe West of the Polish border are on track to become a minority within their homelands sometime between 2040 and 2070.
In recognizing this transformation, the Americans have become truer and more legitimate representatives of the European peoples than the sham elite class that currently occupies the various capitals of that continent. Take Emmanuel Macron, the French president who’s more enamored with grand EU visions than, say, preserving the baguette-baking soul of France. While his country grapples with no-go zones and cultural clashes, Macron’s out there preaching “European sovereignty” like it’s a TED Talk, all while inviting more migrants to “enrich” a nation already straining at the seams, watching its churches burn, and its children be raped and stuffed into suitcases by Algerian psychopaths (see the case of Lola). Olaf Scholz, Germany’s recently unseated Chancellor passed legislation to make naturalization of immigrants easier and to welcome nearly 500,000 more migrants each year despite the ones who are already present in Germany not integrating. And we would be remiss for not mentioning Britain’s increasingly dictatorial Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Mr. Starmer has busied himself locking native Britons up for opposing mass immigration as Afghans stab old men in the streets and Caribbean mental cases slash tube riders across the face on their evening commutes home.
These leaders are like captains steering their ships straight into the iceberg while chanting “diversity is our strength.” Contrast this clown show with Trump’s decisive leadership. While Europeans plead to their contemptuous leaders for relief from mass immigration, the Trump administration has delivered. America’s Southern border is closed. More than 2.2 million illegals have left the United States. The administration is massively tightening legal immigration by changing public charge rules. And members of Congress are eagerly submitting bills to end or curtail damaging programs like the H-1B visa and OPT program. Americans are getting what they voted for on immigration while Europeans continue to languish against decidedly undemocratic elites.
America is changing the conditions of its stewardship of Western civilization. It is here we must point out that simply curtailing immigration won’t be enough. Both the United States and Europe need to engage in policies of remigration for the many immigrants and their descendants who currently reside in many areas of both the US and Europe. Stemming the tide is only the first step in the process of securing the West.
