Former Donald Trump political strategist Steve Bannon and a top associate have created a Brussels-based political organization intended to undermine, and ultimately paralyze, the European Union, Bannon and the associate told Reuters.

In an interview and email conversations, Bannon and Raheem Kassam, a former chief aide to British anti-EU leader Nigel Farage who now serves as a Bannon lieutenant, said the group, known as The Movement, is already operating and hiring.

¡°The Movement will be our clearing house for the populist, nationalist movement in Europe. We¡¯re focusing attention on assisting individuals or groups concerned with the matters of sovereignty, border control, jobs, amongst other things,¡± Kassam said.
