"Assembled European leaders are not buying it. Like a family still reeling from a betrayal in its midst, allies felt hostility from Mr Trump that has durably changed how Europe feels about its reliance on America. What was closeness now feels like dangerous dependency.”

America offers Europe warmer words, but a deep chill remains

🇪🇺☢️ Multiple European countries are publicly backing talks on a homegrown nuclear deterrent to complement American atomic weapons.

Top officials from Baltic countries told POLITICO that, while they still see NATO as cornerstone of nuclear deterrence, they are now willing to talk about Europe’s role.

Beware of the 3 Spheres of Influence Theory. It revisits the cold war and mainly favors Russia and China. The U.S. will do well to return to show international leadership and work with others in a collaborative mutually beneficial way. Multilateralism and the rule of law. Right over might.

But the cracks are still showing.
