The United States and the European Union (EU) are often portrayed as natural allies, bound by shared values, history, and mutual economic interests. Yet behind this façade lies the reality that the EU repeatedly acts to undermine American power, prosperity, and principles. Far from being a loyal friend, the EU is a strategic competitor, an economic rival, and a political bloc hostile to democracy and free speech.
Moreover, U.S. leaders like Clinton, Obama, and Biden often aligned themselves closely with the EU and its globalist ideology, and, at least as seen from the British view, do so at the expense of our and American sovereignty, national interests, and constitutional freedoms. In doing so, these leaders facilitated not only the EU’s rise—nobody in Britain will forget Obama’s threat just before we voted to leave the rotten, corrupt EU—but also undermined the democratic foundations and free speech traditions valued by our conservative American friends.
The EU is a supranational political entity with ambitions that run counter to American interests and the principles of self-governance. It is an organization that stifles democratic expression, disregards the will of the people in the member nations, and suppresses dissent. It has long used its regulatory clout to pursue policies that harm American industries, the most glaring example being the Airbus-Boeing dispute in which the EU provided illegal subsidies to Airbus, enabling it to undercut Boeing on the global stage. Despite WTO rulings condemning these subsidies, the EU has consistently prioritized protecting its own industries (mostly French and German) over fair competition.
In the technology sector, the EU has waged regulatory warfare against American tech giants. Under the guise of privacy protection and consumer rights, it has implemented sweeping rules such as the General Data Protection Regulation and issued multi-billion-euro fines against U.S. companies

The EU is run by and for the far left.

I recently read a “letter to the idiot” written by a broad who claimed she had been an officer in the Air Force for ten years before leaving the military. She claimed that all of her pub pals in Euro now hate her and America for electing President Trump. She said that all Euro Peons hate President Trump and she is no longer “proud” of America. Reading that letter was like listening to a giant plastic bag of human flatulence explode and screw up the ozone layer. I wish she would have told us why her Euro Peon pals hate President Trump. What business was it of theirs that he was the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. He has nothing to do with them. As an American combat veteran, I’m “proud” that she is no longer in our military and is still drifting around Europe like an empty ale mug. She’s an idiot.
The EU was never our friend. They are our competitors.
CORRECT!
America has been wasting hundreds of billions of US tax payer dollars on defending Europe for like 70 years, all for what?
Total waste of money.
Europe is currently not even democratic.
Romania canceled elections results when the conservative candidate won.
Germany is busy working hard to ban the conservative party which is currently the most popular party in Germany.
In France, Macron is busy working hard to throw the leader of the conservative party, Le Penn in jail.
Meanwhile in most European countries they throw you in hail for making social media posts criticizing the government.
And to protect these jokers America spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year on NATO?
Not only that, the EU has been working actively against America from the get go to engineer a permanent trade surplus with America even as America spent hundreds of billions of dollars a year on defending Europe through NATO.
All true.
Europe’s ruling class elites don’t want North Americans returning to live or work in the E.U., even though some of them should have citizenship rights in Europe. The Euroweenies want to import Muslims and non-ethnic Europeans to diversify Europe. They don’t want more white people in Europe.
