The article discusses the growing divide between Europe and America, highlighted by a recent confrontation between President Trump and Ukraine's President Zelensky. This rift symbolizes a broader ideological battle over Enlightenment values, liberal democracy, and pluralism. European leaders are expressing a growing desire for autonomy from American influence, as emphasized by the EU's foreign-policy chief, Kaja Kallas. This moment goes beyond a simple Euro-American clash; it reflects a fundamental struggle within the West between traditional ultranationalists and proponents of liberal ideals.
The need for "strategic autonomy" is not only the preoccupation of French President Emmanuel Macron; it has been part of the bloc's codified global strategy since 2016 as well.
Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign-policy chief, expressed the urgency for the free world to seek a new leader, showcasing European resolve in fostering autonomy.
