The US President also dreams of “Trumpizing” Europe.

The Trump administration wants to create an alternative to the Group of Seven (G7) , comprised of advanced democratic countries, replacing it with an organization that would include Russia and China, according to Defense One .

Last week, the White House released a new US National Security Strategy—a policy document that defines America’s geopolitical goals. Analysts generally assessed this strategy as anti-European and pro-Russian, and to a lesser extent pro-China.

However, it appears that even this strategy is not the full extent of Trump’s true ambitions. Defense One journalists obtained a “more complete version” of the new US national security strategy, which had not been published. The publication did not specify whether this is the draft that was rejected or a classified, expanded version of the new, current strategy.

In a comment to Defense One, White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly denied the existence of any other version of the National Security Strategy other than the one that was officially published.

The Trumpization of Europe

While the published version of the US National Security Strategy calls for ending “NATO’s continued expansion,” the full, unpublished version describes what it calls, quote, “Make Europe Great Again.”

While criticizing Europe for its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the Trump administration proposes focusing on US relations with those European countries whose leaders share Trump’s worldview. Specifically, it lists Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland as countries with which the US should “engage more… with the goal of getting them out of the [European Union].”

“And we must support parties, movements, intellectuals and cultural figures who strive for sovereignty and the preservation/restoration of the traditional European way of life… while remaining pro-American,” the unpublished version of the document says.

The G5 instead of the G7

Another of Trump’s dreams, left out of the unpublished version of the US National Security Strategy, is the creation of some kind of alliance between the US, Russia, and China. Back in the summer, Trump publicly complained that Russia was expelled from the G7 because of its aggression against Ukraine, and hinted at a desire to see China included in this club.

In the secret version of the US National Security Strategy, Trump’s dreams are proposed to be realized by creating a new club of states to counter the G7 – a kind of “Big Five,” which the document calls the Core 5 or C5.

The idea is to replace the G7’s club of rich and democratic countries with a club of simply the world’s largest and most influential countries. The strategy proposes including the United States, China, Russia, India, and Japan in this club. This club would meet regularly, like the G7, at summits on specific topics.

New version of the US national security strategy

As UNIAN reported, last week the Trump administration released a new US National Security Strategy . The document declares the priority of an “America First” approach, a reduction in US security commitments to allies in Europe, and a de facto halt to further NATO expansion.

At the same time, the strategy proclaims “restoring strategic stability” in relations with Russia as one of the top priorities. Russia is no longer recognized as an aggressor or a threat, but rather as a partner for the United States.

At the same time, the strategy views Europe as a problem region experiencing demographic and economic decline.
