3+ hour, 58+ min ago (226+ words) A 29 page policy document released Friday by the White House outlines the Trump administration's National Security Strategy. It delivers sharp criticism of Europe, emphasizes an "America First" approach that prioritizes defending the immediate US sphere, and assigns the Middle East only secondary importance.

In this context, Reuters reported Friday that the Pentagon has presented European governments with a deadline requiring them to assume most of NATO's conventional defense capabilities by…...

"On our way to Washington we visited former president Biden at his home. It was important for us…...
