Trump Escalates Attack on Europe, Calling Continent 'Decaying' and Leaders 'Weak'
President Donald Trump has intensified criticism of European allies in a Politico interview, describing the continent as decaying and led by weak leaders who are too politically correct. Trump blamed European migration policies for destroying countries like Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden, while singling out London Mayor Sadiq Khan for fresh attacks. His comments follow a new US National Security Strategy document that warns of civilisational erasure in Europe. Trump also pressured Ukraine's Zelensky to hold elections and accept territorial concessions to Russia.
