The article discusses a statement made by US Vice President Vance in March, threatening Denmark with occupation of Greenland if it refused to sell. This comment has resurfaced in Czech social media, creating a misleading perception that it is recent. Vance’s past support for European neo-fascists, such as meetings with AfD representatives, illustrates the current US administration’s hostility towards the EU, as outlined in its national security strategy, which favors right-wing populism in various European nations.
However, the US National Defense Authorization Act contrasts with this hostile approach, being pro-EU and supportive of Ukraine amid threats from Russia and China. The article warns that while Trump’s faction may still challenge EU interests, especially with geopolitical negotiations, the overall direction of the US government remains complex, particularly with upcoming midterm elections.
Moreover, there are concerns about the American techno-oligarchy’s influence over EU member states. An analysis by The Authoritarian Stack highlights the connections between US officials and technology companies, and the risks posed by allowing these companies access to sensitive European data. This could threaten EU sovereignty and insinuate an ideology reminiscent of historical totalitarianism, specifically Nazism.
