BERLIN, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Europe faces "civilisational erasure" and may one day lose its status as a reliable U.S. ally, the Trump administration said in a major strategy document, drawing an outcry from Europeans who compared it to the rhetoric of the Kremlin.
The new National Security Strategy, posted on the White House website overnight Thursday-to-Friday, denounced the European Union as anti-democratic, and said the goal of the U.S. should be "to help Europe correct its current trajectory".
