Donald Trump's America First policies, alongside Russia's destabilizing actions, have underscored the necessity of European integration for citizens' survival. Facing pressures from both the U.S. and Russia, Europeans increasingly recognize their vulnerability and have shown unprecedented support for the EU, with 74% viewing membership positively. However, EU leaders remain paralyzed in transforming this support into action, and their policies increasingly reflect a shift towards nationalism reminiscent of Trump's approach to immigration and the environment, undermining the ideals of multilateralism promoted by the EU.

"74% of Europeans now view EU membership as a positive thing - the highest level of support ever recorded. This is a historic opportunity."
