Richard Haass: For Europeans, the Degree of Alienation from the United States Is Profound

EXCERPT:

HAASS: “For Europeans the degree of alienation from the United States is profound. The bottom line is European confidence that they can depend on us to come to their defense against Russia has faded significantly. And that's the big story. The Transatlantic bargain, if you will, the relationship that's worked for eight decades, Europeans are now looking to themselves. They're worried about the U.S. tilt towards Russia, the latest pressure on Ukraine to sign a questionable deal. Marco Rubio will be more welcome than J.D. Vance, but it doesn't change the basics.”
