More in Europe no longer regard US as a reliable ally

More and more Europeans no longer view the United States as a reliable ally. ..... One recent survey found that one-quarter or more of respondents in some countries — including France, Germany and Spain — see the United States as a rival or adversary. Another found that an absolute majority view Trump as an “enemy” of Europe and U.S. foreign policy as “recolonization.” Polls also reflect a growing belief that China is a more dependable partner.

But the damage goes far beyond public opinion. Across multiple domains, the practical foundations of the transatlantic relationship are eroding.
