From Defence One:
“Make Europe Great Again”
While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the full version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to—quote—“Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from American military support.
Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements.
Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”
“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.
The C5
The strategy proposes a “Core 5,” or C5, made up of the U.S., China, Russia, India and Japan—which are several of the countries with more than 100 million people. It would meet regularly, as the G7 does, for summits with specific themes.

The US government has denied the existence of a longer alternative version of the National Security Strategy report, but I believe that the additional info shared by Defence One is consistent with the vision laid out in the publicly released NSS and is highly likely to be true.
If Trump actually pulls this off, he will be remembered as the president who buried the European Union and cemented America's position as the brightest pole in the emerging multipolar world.

. Notice that it's always outsiders calling for the EU to be broken up, never the people from EU countries themselves, at least after Brexit. A lot of people might be dissatisfied with the current political situation, but when it comes to the benefits of the EU, chiefly the freedom of movement and so on, that I'd say 80-90% of people wouldn't want to give up.
