US President Donald Trump unveiled a controversial counterterrorism strategy on Wednesday, accusing Europe of being an 'incubator' for terrorism linked to mass migration.
The strategy also aims to address 'violent left-wing extremists,' including groups he describes as 'radically pro-transgender,' amid heightened political tensions.
Additionally, drug cartels in the Americas are positioned as a key focus in this counterterrorism initiative.
Europe, a region with numerous US allies, is criticized for its immigration policies, which the strategy claims exacerbate terrorism.
The document states, 'Well-organized hostile groups exploit open borders and related globalist ideals. The more these alien cultures grow, the more terrorism is guaranteed.'
Led by counterterrorism coordinator Sebastian Gorka, the strategy emphasizes the need for Europe to halt its 'willful decline'.
This latest critique follows Trump's earlier assertion that Europe faces 'civilizational erasure' due to immigration.
The strategy particularly targets left-wing groups, labeling them 'violent Left-Wing Extremists,' including anarchists and anti-fascists.
It outlines a commitment to rapidly identify and neutralize groups with ideologies that are anti-American and radically pro-transgender.
The plan highlights incidents, including an alleged attack on conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, linking it to extreme transgender ideologies.
Since returning to power, Trump has aggressively opposed gender diversity, including banning trans women from women's sports.
The administration's approach has raised alarm among European allies, who are concerned about being targeted in US counterterrorism efforts.
