Perhaps you can help me understand about Merkel. When I first read hear about her attacks, I called her bad names.
But then, I actually heard some of her words. It seems she was actually acknowledging that there was big change underway and Germany must adjust by becoming more self reliant.
I would think that Trump’s objective was to nudge the Euros to be more self reliant.
In effect it seems that Trump’s gambit eas successful.
too soon to celebrate, but celebrations are in order if this is confirmed.

It was and is successful. The problem with the Euro’s is that there’s still a significant lingering distrust of the Hun amongst them. Their two rocks, their security blankets up to this point gave been the US and the U.K. Now that the UK has left the EU and is somewhat going its own way and the US is making noises about the Euro’s paying their fair share, etc, they’re becoming worried (scared actually) of pending German hegemony. Personally, I think it’s inevitable. I’m thinking the Euro’s should learn German....
