The Trump administration released a policy paper on Friday that made explicit Washington's support for Europe's nationalist far-right parties. The 33-page US National Security Strategy, which includes a signed introduction from Donald Trump, appears to push the racist great replacement conspiracy theory, saying several countries risk becoming majority non-European and Europe faces the real and stark prospect of civilizational erasure.
Where Donald Trump leads, Europe's nationalists and far right follow. After a Truth Social post last month, when Trump announced the US would designate antifa, the decentralised anti-fascist movement, a major terrorist organisation, his international allies swung into action. That same day, the Dutch parliament, where the largest party is Geert Wilders' far-right PVV, passed a resolution, noting the US decision and calling on the government to declare antifa a terrorist organisation in the Netherlands.
