"The EU’s entire trade with Iran amounts to $25 billion. With the U.S.: $755 billion. It’s why the idea that Europe will break with Washington in protest of Trump’s Iran decision is absurd."

Then again, policymakers in Berlin have real reason to be anxious. The disrupter-in-chief in the White House, and the hard-liners he is increasingly surrounding himself with, have made no secret of their disdain for the European Union and for Germany, the E.U.’s single biggest stakeholder. Merkel has made two uncomfortable and ultimately fruitless trips to Washington. A recent visit to Berlin by Wess Mitchell, a senior State Department diplomat with responsibility for European affairs, went badly, with eruptions of temper and frustration on both sides. Germans are dismayed by the Trump administration’s seeming contempt for allies, multilateral institutions, international norms and the niceties of diplomacy.
