The United States Doubts That an Europe, Which They Say Is in Full Decline, Is Worthy of Being Counted Among Their Allies
A double denial threatens Europe amid American doubts about its role as an ally.
SUMMARY
The article analyzes Europe's double denial in the face of American disinterest in the Atlantic Alliance and the questioning of the European Union's credibility as a U.S. ally under Donald Trump's presidency.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- The United States, under Donald Trump, no longer considers the Atlantic Alliance a priority.
- The European Union is perceived as declining and losing credibility in the eyes of Americans.
- This European double denial could weaken transatlantic relations.
- The future of cooperation between Europe and the United States is uncertain.
CORE SUBJECT
Transatlantic relations and Europe's credibility
Europe faces a double denial. The first would be not taking seriously the message that Donald Trump's United States sends to Europeans: the Atlantic Alliance no longer interests them. The second would be to treat with contempt the portrait of a European Union (EU) losing momentum, described as being in full decline, whose credibility as a U.S. ally is being questioned. This situation raises profound questions about the future of transatlantic relations and Europe's place in the world, facing an America that seems to be disengaging from its traditional commitments.
