Resumo

The article examines key crisis trends in the military-political, trade, economic, and ideological spheres that will largely shape U.S.-European relations during Donald Trump's second term. It analyzes NATO allies' disagreements over the future of the Alliance and the conflict in Ukraine, the potential of the U.S.-EU trade war and relations within the U.S.-EU-China triangle, as well as ideological differences between liberal and conservative versions of Euro-Atlanticism. The author concludes that the conflict of interests between the U.S. Republican administration and Europe's globalist elites is systemic in nature and may be further exacerbated by the radical and large-scale transformations planned by Donald J. Trump in the next four years.
