Trump declares a cultural war on Europe: how the US intervenes in the internal affairs of the EU.

Trump is waging a cultural war against Europe

According to inkorr.com: The administration of US President Donald Trump is actively fighting on the cultural front against Europe, supporting right-wing populists and criticizing the European Union. According to a report by the European Council on Foreign Relations, Trump aims to influence elections in Europe and alter transatlantic ties in favor of conservative values.

Particular attention was drawn to the statement by US Vice President Jay D. Vance in February 2025, when he noted that Europe is moving away from shared values. Trump is also actively supporting right-wing European leaders and encouraging them to defend freedom of speech.

'In Trump's cultural war, Europe itself is the target,' emphasizes researcher Pavel Zerka from ECFR.

The authors of the report sharply criticize EU leaders who ignore the existing cultural conflict. At the same time, surveys show that there is already a basis for expressions of dissatisfaction and protests regarding Trump's policies in Europe. EU citizens show increasing trust in the European Union, indicating changes in the socio-political situation of the region.

This report illustrates how the US president's administration actively influences socio-political processes in Europe, attempting to change them in favor of conservative values. This may lead to growing discontent and protests among EU citizens who feel that their values and interests may be under threat.
