From the Counter-Currents 2025 Spring Retreat symposium on America and Europe in the Age of Trump.
My prediction is that America’s relationship with Europe will drastically change because it will mostly stay the same.
This paradox is explained by how America has traditionally pushed policies in Europe which it would like to enact at home. Europe has plenty of homegrown liberals, but as USAID has revealed, they were astroturfed with lavish US support. For example, between 2022 and 2024, USAID spent $32.6 million in a failed effort to subvert Hungary’s sovereignty.[1]
This was especially true when the American Left was frustrated by black letter constitutional law. They pushed censorship, anarcho-tyranny, mass migration, and degeneracy in Europe not just because doing so had inherent value, but in the hope of normalizing it in the minds of the American public. If all the cool kids jump off the rainbow bridge, why shouldn’t you?
For 80 years since WWII, the US deep state has not changed. Elections were mere window dressing, and anyone who went off the uniparty plantation like JFK, Nixon, or now Trump, tended to come to a bad end. Thus, America’s policy towards Europe was consistently liberal.
With Trump back in office on his Dark MAGA arc, things will change. Many of the old incentives, such as subversive slush funds, will disappear. But hopefully some of these incentives will be reversed rather than removed. For example, we have already seen JD Vance dress down Eurocrats for their oppression.
Some may say that’s just words, but our words are backed by ample hard and soft power. It may only be a matter of time until a country like Britain, Belgium, or Romania finds itself sanctioned like a rogue state. This is especially likely because it would allow Trump to transform domestic enemies into being sympathizers with foreign enemies.
The Left already tried to do this to us with the Russian collusion narrative. We can play that game too, except better because we have facts on our side. We are in a second Cold War primarily defined by being pro or anti-migration. Those who are pro-migrant should be treated how the communists should have been during the first Cold War.
However, there is one change which will not be a continuation of the same: the US militarily withdrawing from Europe. Much of White House policy seems erratic until you realize that they are probably building Fortress America. Being the world policeman has turned into an unwinnable game of Whack a Mole. He who defends everything defends nothing, and right now, we can’t even defend our southern border. Warfare changing only amplifies the problem. We’re going to have to prune a lot of branches to save the tree.
America ending its abusive occupation of Europe is good for both sides. Americans save money, which they always like. And European governments will have to choose which luxury policy they can afford: a welfare state or migration. Aside from migrants being an economic drain, they are a fifth column that would side with Russia in an invasion of Europe while demoralizing the native born. They will have to go back.
This may change in the short-term if Putin refuses to negotiate in good faith. But in the long-term, the legions are returning home.
In the meantime, I wish Europe all the best. All it will take to normalize remigration is for one country to do it successfully. After that, I hope we Americans play catch up.

Great article, it’s about time we started minding our own business, but is it in time for Europe to recover—time will tell. 🙃
I’ve wanted US troops out of Europe at least since the 1991 downfall of the USSR. Our troops are there to enforce global progressivism’s race replacism on recalcitrant European populations (as well as to prevent Germany’s becoming a normal nation again). I also have long dreamed of a US President who would treat European domestic totalitarianism directed against their own patriots as a species of “human rights violation” (which it is; indeed, the very worst kind), and apply sanctions and international lawsuits accordingly. Ditto especially for our race brethren trapped in Southern Africa.
Trump is not rea lly up to these tasks, but he’s showing that his instincts lean that way. I hope Hindu-lover Vance is, at heart, the same (ie, that maybe he married his wife simply out of love, and that otherwise he’s a “racial hypocrite” and secret prowhite).
I believe Fugsly Addams Vance married his wife Ushit for pure political appearances of legitimizing multiracialism. The luv there is about as real as between bill and hillary.
