There's arguably no effective way for any future administration to undo the strategic damage being done to the U.S.'s relations with these and other states.
No matter what we do, the U.S. will be seen as an untrustworthy, craven & mercurial "partner"—something simply to be endured or hedged.

When Trump appointed Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel I said that the UK and EU needed to start limiting intelligence sharing.
The Netherlands recently announced that they're doing just that.
Germany is pulling away from US tech and military dependence.
Nobody trusts the US anymore, this is serious.

There's a part 2 to this Byline Times article by Dr Nafeez Ahmed. Not delved into it myself yet, but fill yer boots if you like.
