Many believed the transatlantic alliance could weather another term of Trump, but a year and a half on those hopes have largely faded
In June 2021, from a podium in the Cornish countryside, former US president Joe Biden told a relieved Europe that “America is back at the table”.
So smitten was Brussels with the returning US, so deep the collaboration with Biden’s White House, many believed the transatlantic alliance could weather another term of Trump after he won re-election in November 2024.
A year and a half on, those hopes have largely passed. Few doubt that a rupture has taken place, the only disagreement is how deep and how permanent.
