American-European relations may be subject to considerable change when President-elect Joe Biden takes over later this month.
A researcher at the London-based Chattam House described Donald Trump’s presidency as a stormy one for Europe.
Europe, he said, would have waited for an additional four years during which it would have stormy relations with the US if Trump was reelected.
Decisions taken by Trump during his presidency strained relations with Europe. In this, the outgoing president bucked a general trend followed by his predecessors who were keen on strengthening relations with the continent.
Trump pulled out of the Paris agreement on climate and the nuclear deal with Iran. He imposed customs on aluminum and steel imports from Europe. He also worked to undermine the World Trade Organization.
The outgoing president also criticized Germany several times.
According to a survey by American think tank Pew Research Center, the popularity of the US among Europeans has been dropping noticeably.
Only 26% of respondents in Germany said they still viewed the US positively, Pew said.
Renowned Egyptian writer Ahmed al-Meslemani said news of Trump’s election defeat made Europe sigh in relief.
The Europeans, he said, felt in danger during Trump’s rule.
He noted that Trump conspired to dissolve the European Union and extort money from the Europeans in return for maintaining American presence within NATO.
The Europeans were certain that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan worked for the sake of Trump in his cold war with Europe, Meslemani said.
He added that the Europeans also were confident that Erdogan’s continual threats to Europe would never have happened without support from Trump.
