“Trump’s America is not merely indifferent to Europe – it’s positively hostile to it. That has enormous implications for the continent and for Britain, which too many of our leaders still refuse to face.
…
The motive hardly matters: whether the US regards the EU as an enemy for transactional or ideological reasons, it now sees it as an enemy.
…
[Mark] Rutte warns of war, urging Europe to prepare itself, yet he has nothing to say about the one-time ally across the Atlantic now turned foe. On the contrary, only a few months ago the Nato boss was literally calling Trump “daddy”.
…
Few embody the contradiction more fully than Britain’s own Keir Starmer. He prides himself on his solidarity with Zelenskyy, but remains silent as Trump demonstrates his solidarity with Putin.
…
It’s come to something when the sharpest geopolitical voice in Europe belongs to the pope. Leo criticised Trump for “trying to break apart” an Atlantic alliance that remained essential. In the current climate, even naming the problem counts as a radical act. Now it’s time for those leaders who do not speak in the name of God, but for the peoples of Europe, to be as brave.”

Perhaps because the billionaires who actually run the US are frustrated by all those inconvenient regulations, the ones that keep people alive and help to protect their privacy?
