Donald Trump's anticipated return to the White House has led to a significant decline in Europeans' perception of the US as a trusted ally. A survey covering 11 EU countries, Ukraine, Switzerland, and the UK reveals that many now regard the US primarily as a necessary partner. Notably, 50% view the US this way, in stark contrast to only 21% considering it an ally. This shift, particularly strong in nations like Ukraine and Spain, suggests a possible collapse of the transatlantic alliance and urges Europe to adopt a more pragmatic approach to its foreign relations.
The findings indicate a significant shift in Europeans' perception of the US, with many now viewing it more as a necessary partner than a true ally.
Arturo Varvelli highlighted that this collapse of trust in Washington's foreign policy could signal the potential death knell of the transatlantic alliance.
The report calls for Europe to adopt a more pragmatic and autonomous approach to safeguard its interests and values amidst shifting global dynamics.
In countries like Ukraine, Spain, and Estonia, the perception of the US as a necessary partner rather than an ally is overwhelmingly prominent.
