MAINZ, Germany Dec 9 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday rejected a blistering attack on European democracies by the Trump administration, which issued a strategy paper last week declaring that the continent faced "civilizational erasure".
The U.S. National Security Strategy, made public last week, caused shock across Europe, with a broadside that accused European governments of "subversion of democratic processes" and said U.S. policy should include "cultivating resistance" within the European Union.
