Germany Rejects U.S. Critique in New Security Strategy

Germany has dismissed critical remarks from a new United States security strategy. The document, which outlines President Donald Trump's "America First" policy, signals a shift in Washington's global role. It sharply criticizes European allies. In response, a German government spokesperson stated that Berlin does not require "outside advice" or a "lecture" on values like freedom of expression. The strategy marks a notable change in tone from the U.S. toward its traditional partners. It frames global politics as a competition between nations, moving away from past emphasis on shared alliances.
