“The Trump administration wants to persuade four more countries to leave the European Union to ‘Make Europe Great Again’, according to reports of a longer, still-classified version of the U.S. national security strategy released last week,” the Times of London reports.

“There are also suggestions of creating a new elite C5, or Core Five, forum of world powers to sideline the G7, comprising America, China, India, Japan and Russia.”

“The four EU countries seen as targets to follow Brexit are Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland.”
