President Biden's efforts to strengthen relations with European allies stand in stark contrast to Trump's antagonism towards Europe and his controversial tariff imposition. Trump's tariffs on allies, notably Ukraine, while exempting adversaries like Russia, signal a potential fracture in the trans-Atlantic alliance built over 80 years. This shift jeopardizes trust in the U.S. as a reliable partner, raising concerns about the future of NATO and the global order. Experts assert that such actions not only damage intercontinental relations but could also inadvertently benefit Russia, undermining the West's unity.
The perception and assessment in Europe that the U.S. under Donald Trump is an unreliable partner, changes 80 years of postwar history.
Mr. Trump's willingness to fracture the trans-Atlantic alliance, imposing tariffs on allies but not on Russia or North Korea, illustrates a pivotal shift.
