As long as we were providing them with protection against the Soviet Union, yes they were a reluctant ally, but now there is growing anti-Americanism and they don’t mind showing it.
I don’t only mean their immigrants, ethnic Europeans are pretty much in the anti-American column too.
They have been, for MANY decades. This is not new. I was stationed in Germany, from 80 to 84. There was lots of anti American rhetoric back then.
Not true...France left NATO in 1966 over differences with the United States and didn't rejoin again until Obama was President.
...but now there is growing anti-Americanism and they dont mind showing it.
Wrong again...French President Macron just returned from a visit to Washington in which he was given a state dinner and addressed Congress.
Earlier this year French Nationalist Marion Le Pen was an invited speaker at the 2018 CPAC and her aunt Marine Le Pen was a supporter of the Trump in 2016.
While there may be policy differences between the United States and France, there is also a reservoir of good will...and that simply doesn't translate into 'growing anti-Americanism'.
