The article reflects on the sentiments of the French public towards the U.S. under Donald Trump's presidency. It notes a significant shift in perceptions, with a majority now viewing America as a diminished ally. Polls indicate widespread concern about U.S. behaviors, including dismissive remarks from officials and high-handed diplomatic tactics, fostering fears of conflict escalation in Europe. The overall sentiment in France is one of sadness and brokenheartedness regarding America's current stance.
If my random and unscientific survey of some French opinion at all represents the nation's as a whole, then the debut of Donald Trump's America has left some French triste - a bit sad, even brokenhearted, and also wary and vigilant.
Almost as many French citizens, having seen the way Trump and his vice president, JD Vance, manhandled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, are afraid that Russia's war against Ukraine will spill over beyond Ukraine's borders, perhaps even into France itself.
