European confidence in an American “security guarantee” has hit a historic low, a survey suggests, with only one in 10 people across 15 countries seeing the US as an ally and majorities in all doubting it would come to their aid if they were attacked.
The survey, published on Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank before critical G7 and Nato summits in France and Turkey over the coming weeks, revealed “deep European distrust in the US”, the authors said.
It also showed that, while many Europeans felt relations with Washington would improve once Donald Trump leaves office, they were increasingly ready in the meantime to protect themselves against US unreliability by bolstering Europe’s defence.
The US president’s Middle East aggression, threats against Greenland, vows to withdraw troops from European bases and scepticism on the future of Nato had also prompted a growing European pragmatism, the report said.

good.
Europistan....meh! Want when it was still tolerable.
Mutual?
Good. They certainly are not our allies.
How many U.S. citizens believe the EU is our ally?
NOt a problem.
Bye!
Firstvof all I don’t believe that bull squirt to begin with.
And even if it is accurate, it’s because President Trump has cut off their free access to the American money teat.
And given that, were they really allies to begin with?
They need us more than we need them and it’s high time they came to that realization.
Fine, they can pay for their own defense.

Socialists in Europe saw U.S. taxpayers as their wallet.
Until Europe understands that there’s no free lunch when it comes to security things will be OK.
Who cares?
Perhaps because 1 in 10 Europeans is actually European?
They haven’t been OUR ally for decades.
good, at least insofar as UK, France, Belgium, Spain under their current governments.
Which have shown themselves to range from totally unhelpful to outright backstabbing of USA.
Don’t worry. The next time a Democrat is in office, the love affair will start up again. Then when the next Republican is in, Europe will view the US as Nazi Germany again, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
We should make Europe a colony.
Yeah our “Middle East aggression”.
Have fun surrendering to Russia, China and Iran.
They sure proved Trump was right about Greenland.
THREE times in the last century, the US has had to save Europe from itself. So much for gratitude...
They rightly see Russia as an imminent threat. And rightly see Trump buddying up to Putin and realize the the US may be on Russia’s side when Russia invades Europe.
