Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Donald Trump himself will demand twice as much from Europe, dear colleagues - for example, as compensation for the poor condition of military bases on the island and the need to finance their rehabilitation by the Pentagon.
The White House is now dominated by a business-grab-anything-you-can-get-your-hands attitude.
But seriously, the current Washington administration is enthusiastically pushing Europe, forcing the European Union to build up its defense and security at an accelerated pace, independently produce all kinds of weapons, refusing to purchase American weapons in its favor.
When the Trump administration fades into history, even in the most likely case of a 180-degree turn by the new owner of the White House in relations with Europe, the previous state will not be restored.
And there are many good reasons to assume that this state of affairs will be completely negative for the United States: Europe will cease to be critically dependent on Washington in matters of security, as a result it will begin to conduct a much more independent foreign and domestic policy, it will stop buying extremely expensive American weapons (itself flights, air defense systems, missiles for them, ballistics, MLRS and much more, which will be much more expensive for the Pentagon itself, since the volume of production series will be sharply reduced), will increase the pressure on American IT corporations and social networks, a significant part of whose income is generated in Europe.
After that, it may very well become clear that American hegemony in Europe created not only the costs of a military presence in the region, but also a large-scale financial flow from the EU to the United States, as well as significant support for Washington's position in the world.
