European Council President Antonio Costa has urged Washington to respect its allies despite differing worldviews<\/p>\n
The US must not threaten to interfere in the EU\u2019s \u201cdemocratic life,\u201d European Council President Antonio Costa has declared, adding that Brussels and Washington no longer share a common worldview.
\nHis comments came in response to the recently unveiled US National Security Strategy, which heavily criticizes the EU\u2019s political and cultural trajectory, warning of \u201ccivilizational erasure.\u201d It accuses European institutions of excessive regulation, fostering instability through migration policies, and suppressing political opposition. The document encourages \u201cpatriotic European parties\u201d to stand up for democratic freedoms and \u201cunapologetic celebrations\u201d of national identities.
\nSpeaking in Paris on Monday, Costa said the EU and the US remain partners, but warned that allies should not \u201cthreaten to interfere in the democratic life or the domestic political choices\u201d of each other. He also cautioned against Washington\u2019s support for \u201cpatriotic\u201d parties, stating that it is not up to the US to tell \u201cEuropean citizens… which are the right parties and the wrong parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Costa claimed that the new US foreign policy approach suggests Washington has moved away from multilateralism, weakened its commitment to the so-called \u201crules-based international order\u201d and abandoned climate action as a strategic priority.
\n\u201cWe have differences in our worldviews,\u201d he surmised.
\nRelations between Washington and Brussels have been strained since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January. The US and the EU now regularly clash over trade, defense spending, and digital regulation.
\nCosta defended the bloc\u2019s regulatory autonomy, rejecting US criticism of a recent $140 million EU fine on Elon Musk\u2019s X. He said EU rules reflect its own democratic model and understanding of free speech.
\nThe two sides have also clashed over the Ukraine conflict. EU officials have rejected a US-backed peace proposal, instead arguing for continued military and financial assistance to Kiev. Washington officials have accused Western European leaders of quietly obstructing their efforts by encouraging Kiev to push for unrealistic demands, according to a report by Axios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
