Premier’s appeal to the United States
On Saturday, Donald Tusk responded to the new U.S. national‑security strategy that criticizes Europe for allegedly censoring free speech, suppressing opposition, falling birth rates, and loss of national identity. He said Europe is not a problem for the U.S., but an ally, highlighting their common enemies and arguing that this stance has prevailed for the last 80 years and remains the only sensible strategy for shared security.
